The Phase-Out of R-22 (Freon)
R-22, commonly known as Freon, is an older refrigerant that was found to be harmful to the ozone layer. As part of an international agreement, R-22 is no longer being produced or imported into the United States as of 2020. This means that the remaining supply is extremely limited and very expensive.
If your older air conditioning system develops a refrigerant leak, a simple "recharge" is no longer a simple or affordable option. At Blessed Solutions LLC, we can advise you on the best path forward, whether it's a cost-effective conversion (retrofit) of your existing system or upgrading to a new, high-efficiency system that uses modern R-410A refrigerant.
