A Consumers Guide to the End of R-22
12/30/09
First of all what is R-22?
Simply put R-22 was the most popular refrigerant use in residential cooling systems for many years. Like some other refrigerants it contains chlorine in the form of CFC’c and HCFC’s that deplete the earth’s ozone very aggressively. For this reason R-22 is being phased out over time. Your air conditioning unit most likely uses R-22. The replacement refrigerant is know as R-410A and was invented by Honeywell, no longer containing any harmful chlorine.
Since R-22 is being phased out, we at Bob Jenson A/C have switched over to R-410A refrigerants for several years now. All of our equipment you purchase will contain R-410A refrigerant. As of January 1st 2010 Units containing R-22 are no longer produced.
We have found a site to be a great resource to the phase out timeline of R-22 any many other questions you may have: www.phaseoutfacts.org
