Was your air conditioning system manufactured before 2010? It might be in your best interest to get rid of it and upgrade to a more modern AC system!
Air conditioning equipment that was manufactured before 2010 could be utilizing a refrigerant known as R-22. R-22 was found to be harmful to the environment, and so the Environmental Protection Agency instated a gradual phase-out that ends in January 2020. After this date, R-22 refrigerant will no longer be produced or imported into the U.S.
What does this mean for you?
If your equipment uses R-22 refrigerant, and requires a refrigerant charge, the costs will increase as supplies decrease! Costs are expected to continue increasing as the phase-out date draws closer, which means you could potentially be putting a lot of money into the upkeep of a system that is soon to be obsolete.
What should you do?
Purchase new equipment! Put your money to good use by installing a new system in your home. This will help in two ways. One, you avoid the rising cost of R-22 refrigerant and the harmful effects it has on the environment. Two, modern equipment is highly efficient, offering you significant savings on your cooling costs.
