R-22 Refrigerant Answers From The AC ExpertsA few years ago we announced that the government was changing their refrigerant standards for residential central air conditioners. In short, they required that the most common refrigerant, R-22 (which also happens to be harmful to the environment) be phased out and eliminated from use by the year 2020. This regulation also required air conditioning manufacturers to cease the shipment of R-22 refrigerant with any newly-produced air conditioning systems. When you buy a new air conditioner these days it will most likely contain the more environmentally-friendly R-410A refrigerant or a legal alternative. Although, some manufacturers have made available new ACs called ‘dry charge’ systems, designed for R-22 refrigerant, but instead of shipping with the refrigerant inside, the refrigerant is added on-site by the contractor during installation.

The new refrigerant policies have put many homeowners and HVAC contractors alike in a unique predicament. The situation raises significant questions about the best solution when an AC problem or AC repair is needed: should the homeowner pay the high price to recharge their system with R-22 refrigerant, or attempt to use an alternate refrigerant, or buy a new air conditioner altogether? decorative cover for air conditioner unitWhen buying a new air conditioning system, should the homeowner buy a new R-410A refrigerant system or risk buying a "dry-charge" system? window ac unit filling with waterThe latter is often the lower-cost solution in the short term, but longer-term, repercussions of that choice are becoming clearer; in the wall ac and heat units

no new R-22 refrigerant will be produced after the year 2019… which as we get closer to that date, will continue to cause the cost of R-22 to exponentially skyrocket. Still, that deadline is several years away, and the average life-span of many home air conditioners is 8-15 years.We always make recommendations for a homeowner based on their specific situation, since every home, homeowner and their family is very different.

Always understand the energy consumption needs of any equipment you choose.If the installation requires a new opening of a wood-framed exterior wall, that work will cost from about $55 to $75 per square foot of rough opening, depending mostly upon local labor rate. Masonry work is yet more expensive.Multi-phase electrical circuitry is generally required for units of greater than 12,000 BTU’s per hour, or 5 horsepower, or 3.500 kilowatts.For sunny rooms, choose A/C with 10% more BTU’s than required for room size.For rooms that regularly contain more than two people, add 600 BTU’s per person to what the room size alone requires in A/C capacity.For kitchens A/C, select a unit with 4,000 more BTU’s than required for room size.Evaporative coolers require a dry and arid climate in order to perform as desired. Under those conditions, they can lower room temperatures by 15º to 20º F and consume 75% less electricity than the equivalent A/C unit.There may be local subsidy or grant for the upgrade of energy efficiency.
