You may not be familiar with the Montreal Protocol or the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Clean Air Act, but if you have an older residential AC or heat pump system, this important information will hit close to home:
As part of this worldwide Protocol and the EPAs efforts at home to reduce ozone-destroying chlorines, the Freon R22, which has been the refrigerant of choice in residential heat pump and A/C systems, is being phased out. This could mean a service or upgrade to your AC or heat pump system is necessary to keep it running efficiently and economically this summer.
