R-22 Conversions in Houston
A lot changes in the new year—resolutions, jobs, the weather, and even your air conditioning system. With the new year of 2020 coming around the corner, it also brings the end of R-22 refrigerant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has mandated that R-22, or Freon, will no longer be produced in the United States starting January 1, 2020. This may not seem like too big of a deal, but if you have an older HVAC system, might it be using R-22. If that’s the case, you’re in the market for an AC replacement. Luckily, Horizon Air Solutions is here to walk you through all of the ways the R-22 ban may affect you, and how to make sure you’re ready for its changes!
If you’d like to discuss the R-22 ban with a member of the Horizon team, give us a call at 713-679-9225 or contact us online now.
What Is R-22 and What Does It Do?
Many older HVAC units rely on Freon, or R-22, to function properly. These include heat pumps, mini-splits, car AC systems, central air conditioners, and other refrigeration equipment. In 2010, it became illegal to used R-22 in new AC systems, but Freon was not banned as a whole. However, on January 1, 2020, Freon will no longer be produced. Therefore, if you live in a home that uses Freon, it’s important to consider your system replacement process. This is where Horizon Air Solutions comes in!
