If you purchased your AC system prior to 2010, most likely it was built with R22 refrigerant, more commonly known as Freon.

Then, in 2010, everything changed. Since that time, all new AC systems have been built with the more environmentally friendly R-410A (Puron). Freon, you see, has been scientifically proven to deplete the earth’s ozone layer.

Here’s one more thing that should matter to you:  if your system still runs on Freon, 2019 is the last year you can obtain any quantity for a system recharge.  And if you do need a recharge this year? You can expect to pay $200 and more per pound!  Once upon a time, that same pound of Freon cost $5 – $10 dollars.

Now is a Great Time to Replace Your Older AC System

If your AC system still runs on Freon, you have three basic choices:

• Hang onto it at least for the 2019 cooling season and hope you don’t need a Freon recharge. If you do? Let’s put it this way: are you willing to pay hundreds of dollars to recharge it when a new system could cost you as little as $2,500?
• Wait until next year – perhaps even longer – and HOPE you don’t need more Freon. But when you do, you’ll be scrambling to replace your system to overcome the inevitable sweltering indoor heat.
• Or, you can replace your system now, avoid the hassle, and enjoy a world of added peace of mind.
