• Phasing Out of R-22

  • As of January 2010 the standard refrigerant used in most all residential HVAC systems, R-22 (freon), will no longer be allowed to be used when manufacturing new equipment. This government mandate came to be after recognizing how this refrigerant R-22 was harmful to our planet’s ozone layer due to its properties of chlorine. Another part of this EPA mandate will include the complete phase out of all manufacturing of the R-22 refrigerant with no production or importation beginning in 2020.

• The 13 SEER Government Mandate:

  • On January 23, 2006 a government mandate stated that heat pump and air conditioning manufacturers (Carrier, Bryant, York, Lennox, etc.) would no longer make equipment less than 13 SEER. The regulation required that all products manufactured after that date meet the new standard. This 30% increase in minimum efficiency could result in energy savings of up to 23% compared to most central air conditioning systems rated at 10 SEER.
