Why This is Important
If your air conditioner is over ten years old and uses R-22 as the refrigerant. The price of R-22 is skyrocketing resulting in significantly higher repair bills. In 1987, the EPA ordered the phasing out of certain ozone-depleting refrigerants and R-22 —the refrigerant used by older AC systems. Being that we are now in the last few years of R-22 being completely phased out—the cost has gone through the roof!
R-410A is now the accepted refrigerant and the Environmental Protection Agency is recommending that any older existing air conditioners requiring a refrigerant repair be considered for replacement.
Sticker Shock! Yes, there is no question—you will have it —if your AC system needs freon! But more importantly …before you top it off….why is your older AC system leaking refrigerant? Filling it without knowing why it’s leaking is like filling a flat tire without finding and fixing the leak! Depending on how many pounds your unit may need, it could be the money to extend your summer vacation!
