Can existing equipment containing R-22 still be serviced?
Yes, existing equipment may continue to be serviced. Servicing may include the replacement of failed components. Thus, pre-charged components (e.g. condensing units, line sets, and coils produced prior to January 1, 2010, may be sold and installed to service an existing R-22 system that is in need of repair. For example, an existing R-22 split air-conditioning system (i.e., appliance), undergoing service in 2010 or later, may have individual components of the system replaced with pre-charged R-22 components that were manufactured prior to January 1, 2010.
