Many of today’s air-conditioning units use the refrigerant known as R-22 or Freon. R-22 is a HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon) refrigerant, which is known to harm the ozone. In fact, following the guidelines of the federal Clean Air Act, the production of A-C units using R-22 will end in 2010.
The refrigerant R-410A is the widely accepted substitute currently being used in the production of most A-C units. Because of higher pressures which are necessary for the use of R-410A, it is not possible to substitute R-410A in systems built for R-22.
Let the Wyckoff professionals answer any questions you may have regarding these refrigerants and show you the variety of efficient units which use the environmentally safe R-410A. Contact us now to learn more.
