The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandated that R-22, or Freon, will no longer be produced in the United States starting January 1, 2020.

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!

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!
