What type refrigerant does the air conditioner use?
R410a operates at much higher pressures so they require better quality components than R22 machines, so they tend to cost more to purchase. Back up Legislation Information Facts about Puron, Freon-22, R410a, & new legislated energy efficiency levels for central air conditioning that we at Noll have compiled to help you understand what is happening. (for more complete or detailed information please download the Montreal-Protocol2000.pdf 143KB). Freon-22 refrigerant is the most commonly used air conditioner refrigerant, it currently is to be phased out of production starting in 2010 for equipment and 2020 for virgin refrigerant. Following what we have seen in the automotive industry following the phase out of Freon-12 prices to repair current R22 units could increase quite dramatically.

Puron & R410a refrigerants are chemically identical both are CFC free and non-ozone depleting refrigerants, the difference is that P
