Tuesday, September 18, 2007 What is the differance between R-22(Freon) and R-410(Puron)The term freon is a widely misused term. Freon is a brand name for Duponts refrigerants. It's like calling tissue paper
Kleenex. We are about to enter another stage of refrigerant phase out as established by the Montreal Protocol. Starting in
2010 air conditioning manufactures will no longer be able to use Refrigerant r-22 in newly manufactured equipment. The permanent
replacement for r-22 is r-410. Most major manufactures have been selling units with r-22 and r-410 for a few years. After
2010 r-22 will still be available for repair of existing systems, but be warned the price of r-22 is already starting to rise.
If you are in the market for a new air conditioning system it is definitely in your best interest to insist on one with ozone
friendly r-410

Q. Is there a ban on Freon?
A. Freon is a misused term as it refers to a brand name of refrigerant, not a actual refrigerant.
Currently refrigerant r-22 is the most common refrigerant used in air conditioning systems. Starting in January of 2010 manufactures
will no longer be able to use r-22 in any newly manufactured Air Conditioning units. The new refrigerant that is replacing
r-22 is ozone friendly r-410. We have been installing systems with r-410 for several years now, but will still have systems
available in r-22 until the deadline.
Q. If r-410 if is currently available why would
anyone install a system with the old refrigerant r-22?
A. Cost, r-410 systems cost more
than r-22 systems to install. However each year as production ramps up the gap has gotten smaller. We expect that in 2008
that cost will be almost identical.
A. Yes there are several options for thoses who do not have a conventional duct system including the Unico Minature duct system and Ductless Mini Split Systems.
A. There are several factors that go into sizing your system including the square footage of your house, how much insulation you have, shadding, how much glass you have, just to name a few. Only a qualified estimater can size your system for peak efficiency and proper operation.
