Government Mandates New Air Conditioners

Effective January 1, 2010 manufacturers will no longer produce air conditioning equipment that uses the R22 refrigerant. This is the result of a government mandate through the EPA and the clean air act. Newly manufactured residential air conditioners will use the new 410 A refrigerant, which is not compatible with R22.  So what does all this mean to you? Since the old and new refrigerants are not compatible the compressors and air handlers cannot be mixed. So if you are replacing your outside compressor after January 1, 2010 you will need to also replace the inside air handler unit
Maintenance will continue to be available for the older R22 units after January 1, 2010 so there is no need to rush to replace your equipment. One more thing to keep in mind is that the cost of the R22 refrigerant is expected to increase. A little help will come from FPL, who is offering rebates for upgrading to more efficient equipment and there is a federal tax credit available also if you qualify. FPL rebate information is at: http://www.fpl.com/residential/savings/energy_advisor/ac_buying_guide/ac_evaluate.shtml#savings
