Residential Air Conditioning equipment is available in several refrigerant types (R22 and R410a). Our installing contractors generally offer both and have had excellent success with each. Trane’s residential line provides a full spectrum of equipment for both refrigerants. R22 has an Ozone Depletion Potential rating of 0.05, while R410a has an ODP rating of zero. Under current EPA guidelines R22 will be available until 2020, after which it may no longer be reclaimed or recycled. Neither refrigerant has any pronounced advantage for service (in either theory or practice).
