I’ve heard a lot about new refrigerants (Freon). Do I need to think or worry about this when buying a new system?
• We do not advise homeowners to choose a home comfort system based on the refrigerant that they use. The Clean Air Act does not allow ANY refrigerant to be vented into the atmosphere. They must be reclaimed, recycled, and reused. • Units using the current refrigerant, R-22, will always be serviced with R-22. They will not need to change to a different refrigerant. The scheduled phase out of R-22 allows for plenty of refrigerant to be available to service all cooling units and heat pumps that use R-22 for the life of the equipment. • We do offer systems by several manufactures that use the newer R-410A refrigerant. As reliability and pricing improve, we expect to see an increase in their uses. • As the HVAC industry gradually transitions to a new refrigerant, we encourage homeowners to maintain their focus on purchasing energy efficient home comfort products that best meet their comfort needs. • Purchasing higher efficiency heating and cooling systems and better sealing and insulating
