Refrigerant Phase-Out News

There is big news and refrigerant phase out updates currently impacting the HVAC industry. As part of a global effort to reduce environmental impact, older refrigerants like R-22 and the more recent R-410A are being phased out in favor of eco-friendly alternatives.

What does this mean for you? If your current air conditioning system uses R-410A, you don't need to replace it immediately. However, as the supply of these older refrigerants decreases, the cost of repairs and recharges will significantly increase. For units older than 10 years, it may be more cost-effective to consider an installation upgrade to a modern system designed for the next generation of refrigerants.

We provide clear, honest advice on whether to repair your existing unit or invest in a new, compliant system.
