Are new air conditioning and heat pump systems more environmentally friendly?
Yes. For instance, Bryant Equipment can use Puron refrigerant which has a zero ozone factor so it is an environmentally safe system. Freon-22, currently the most commonly used refrigerant, is gradually being phased out of existence due to concern over the earth’s ozone layer. As supplies of Freon-22 dwindle and servicing costs rise as a result, using Puron helps preserve the ozone layer while protecting you from potentially expensive service costs in the future.
