R-22 Freon has been used in A/C and Refrigeration units since the 1940’s. Due to its chlorine base, which contributes to the depletion of the Earth’s stratospheric ozone, R-22 Freon is now being phased out.
The year 2010 began the phase-out of R-22 Freon for new equipment. But in the year 2020, R-22 Freon will be phased-out of production completely. However, R-22 Freon will be available in the future but with an increase in cost. So what is the replacement for R-22 Freon?
R-410A Freon has an increased efficiency and uses less energy which reduces the carbon dioxide emissions into the air. However, R-410A Freon is only compatible with equipment specifically designed and constructed for R-410A Freon. Therefore, an R-22 Freon unit will not be compatible without an upgrade to R-410A.
You can save money by upgrading to a higher efficiency air conditioning and heating system that uses R-410A Freon. The new R-410A compatible units save money with their higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating compared to the older R-22 systems of 10 SEER rating or lower.
