Menu Call. The refrigerant change means several things for homeowners with older ACs : You can continue to use R22 refrigerant in existing systems, but it will only be available through after-market sales, such as when it is recovered from older systems that have been salvaged.
Prices of R22 refrigerant have been rising and are expected to continue to rise. By the time the phase-out is complete, R22 will most likely be very expensive. Availability of R22 will be limited since it cannot be purchased new. Even if you need a recharge of R22 in the future, there can be no guarantee that the refrigerant will be available. Complete air conditioning system replacement to an R model may be the most cost-effective solution. Our Commitment. We are committed to earning your trust.

Your HVAC company should be able to help you prioritize which systems to replace first, and help you develop a strategy that works for your budget. Many people will be taken by surprise! At Arista, we understand that the R22 refrigerant phase out is going to cause a lot of headaches and unexpected expense for system owners, especially businesses.
Feel free to reach out to us any any time for advice. What does the R22 phase out timeline mean for you? The options for R22 system owners Here at Arista, we believe in being proactive and being transparent. In general, owners of R22 air conditioners will have 3 choices: Do nothing until your system needs a repair that requires adding refrigerant.
Retrofit or convert your old R22 equipment to use an existing refrigerant. Especially if you know your unit has a refrigerant leak, you may be trying to decide how long you can get by before you will have to invest in a new system. Older R22 systems have become obsolete and can no longer be repaired when the repair would require adding refrigerant to the system.
With no supply of R22, fixing a refrigerant leak is out of the question. JED believes in being proactive. This is why we have been talking to our customers about this issue for some time now, so they understand the situation and can plan accordingly.
JED knows that what you are hoping to put off, is a system replacement. But if you are experiencing problems with your system, doing nothing is not really an option, either, since your comfort conditions are probably unacceptable to you.
Especially for a large commercial customer, it is a huge expense not to mention business inconvenience to replace an extensive system or many multiple units. While it is bad enough when you know it is coming, having to do so with no warning is much worse. Even homeowners do not want an issue like this to take them by surprise and end up having to be without air conditioning at the wrong time. The point is, you do not want to be replacing your system on an emergency basis.
