Years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared R-22 refrigerant an ozone-depleting substance and manufacturers were ordered to stop producing R-22 air conditioning units as of 2010. F forward to today, and the phase out of R-22 A/C systems is nearing the end.
If you have an existing R-22 system in your Lebanon – Wilson County, Tennessee home that needs repair or is close to the end of its operational lifecycle, you have three options:
- Leave In Place: Your aging system will eventually require an increased amount of maintenance. After the phase-out, a system with R-22 cannot be serviced, causing longer downtime once it fails. This is strongly discouraged.
- Convert: If you try and convert to an alternative refrigerant not designed for an older system, operating efficiency will be greatly affected. This is not recommended.
- Replace: For peak performance and immediate and long-term return on your investment, the Bentley’s Air Conditioning team suggests transitioning to R-410A equipment sooner rather than later.
