What you Need to Know about HCFC-22

The most common type of refrigerant used in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment is HCFC-22…better known as R-22.  If your air conditioner or heat pump was manufactured before 2010, it most likely uses R-22 refrigerant.  Check the name plate on your outdoor condenser unit to be sure.

Due to their ozone depletion effects, fluorocarbons, and especially hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), are being phased out by the Environmental Protection Agency.  As a matter of fact, production of HCFC-22 (R-22) will stop completely by 2020.  Ozone-depleting substances are regulated as a class I or class II controlled substance in the U.S. to protect the ozone layer.

What does this all mean to you…a home owner or landlord in the Colorado Springs area?  You can find out by calling Altitude Heating and Air.  The techs at Altitude have been taking care of this area’s air conditioning and heating needs for many years and know the latest on R-22.  Call Altitude Heating and Air today at (719) 209-4955.
