2 posts, read 107,867 times R-22 is being phased out of brand new equipment....R-22 will still be available and R-22 parts will still be available. "On January 1, 2003, EPA banned the production and import of virgin HCFC-141b, the first Class II substance to be phased out. On January 1, 2010, production and import of virgin HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b will be banned. Exceptions will be available for servicing of equipment made before this date (the so-called “servicing tail”), for export, and for processes resulting in transformation or destruction of the substances. On January 1, 2015, production and import of other virgin Class II substances will be banned. Exceptions will be available for use as a refrigerant in equipment manufactured before January 1, 2020, as well as for export and for processes resulting in transformation or destruction. On January 1, 2020, all production and import of virgin HCFC-22 and HCFC-142 will be banned, with exceptions for export and for processes resulting in transformation or destruction.

On January 1, 2030, all production and import of virgin HCFCs will be banned, with exceptions for export and processes resulting in transformation or destruction. On January 1, 2040, all production and import of virgin HCFCs will be banned, except for processes resulting in transformation or destruction." For consumers from the EPA: R410-A equipment is not new and has been around for 10 years....For anyone saying it's not as good if you notice all the highest efficiency systems only use 410A reason being they couldn't achieve it without 410A I highly recommend not worrying about brands except for the problem you have with one in particular not fitting....look for warranty meaning labor and parts for a long time...whichever has the best...I think you might be surprised Goodman has one of the best warranties but all can be had for a certain price Make sure the contractor is competent and not just installing what used to be there. They need to verify the duct system is correctly sized for proper airflow....they need to do a load calculation meaning finding the heat load loss of the home.

You will probably find your system is already over sized and duct work is undersized.....about 70% of homes ones that don't use the standard ACCA practices have this problem which are ACCA manual J, Manual D, Manual S The sizing one is important because not all equipment that says 2 tons will actually move 24,000 at ARI test conditions. Some move more some move less you need to verify with performance charts what the system will be able to do and match it accordingly with the Manual J load/loss calculation I also highly suggest going through this thread: Ideas on saving energy There is a lot of information I put in there about HVAC systems and replacements. Remember a pro can make a cheap HVAC system perform great.....a hack can make the best HVAC system in the world preform poorly. You don't do this every year it's usually in the neighborhood of 10-20 years so get some good warranties and good luck. R-22 R-410A How will it effect the Consumer.
