Systems using Freon® (R22 refrigerant) can be detrimental to the environment and will be costlier to maintain over time than modern A/C units. We offer affordable and eco-friendly air conditioner upgrades and replacements that save you money while maintaining your comfort at home.
Why is R22 refrigerant being phased out?
Studies have shown that R22 refrigerant, commonly known as Freon, aids in the depletion of the ozone in our atmosphere. Although other refrigerants like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are also considered harmful to our planet, R22 is often the most detrimental to the environment.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and other world agencies have initiated an R22 phase-out. Beyond the environmental damage Freon causes, the ongoing expenses you’ll incur to keep your old R22 climate control system running will continue to rise. Avoid costly repairs and replacements and help preserve the environment by contacting us for an air conditioner upgrade consultation.
How to tell if your air conditioner uses R22
If your A/C system was installed before 2010, there’s a high probability it uses R22 refrigerant (Freon) to keep your home cool. To be certain, check the manufacturer’s data plate found on the outer condenser or inner air handler.
Rising costs of maintaining R22 refrigerant-enabled air conditioners
Older air conditioners leak and require frequent repairs. In the case of R22 air conditioning units, the costs of refilling coolant will continue to climb. By the year 2020, only recycled R22 canisters will be allowed, reducing supplies and increasing costs even further.
