What is R-22 refrigerant?

This is the chlorine based liquid gas used in air conditioners and heat pumps typically installed in residential properties prior to 2010. Without it your system will not comfort you. The EPA required R-22 systems to be phased out in 2010 and R-410 to be introduced which is more environmentally friendly than R-22.

Why is the price of R-22 refrigerant skyrocketing?

According to ACCA (Air Conditioning Contractors of America) the price of R-22 refrigerant has risen as much as 400% since early 2012 and we are not sure the price increase has hit the ceiling yet. The Environmental Protection Agency controls the production and import of R-22. They set limits on how much can be produced and imported each year, but failed to set limits for 2012. Until the EPA set these limits, manufacturers must produce 45% less R-22 than they did last year. This creates uncertainty in the marketplace and the manufacturers have increased their prices. The earliest the EPA will announce its decision is summer 2012 and nobody knows what the final 2012 limits will be.

As a professional contractor, our goal is to provide you with the best possible products, service and value so considering the unfortunate price increase with R-22 we feel it is important to inform you of the situation. We hope that Washington resolves this issue soon.

If you have a system that requires R-22 and it is aging or experiencing increasing refrigerant leaks or other failures, consider investing your money in a new, higher efficient system that handles R-410 which is more cost effective than experiencing expensive R-22 leak repairs. System replacement quotes are free and installations are performed by Kellam Mechanical technicians who are NATE and EPA refrigerant certified.
