Be prepared for the 2010 R-22 refrigerant manufacturing phaseout.

By 2010, the common R-22 air conditioning refrigerant will be phased out from production & like old refrigerants, such as R-12, that have already been phased out, will too become quite expensive. The common alternative refrigerant that we have been installing since the later '90s is the chlorine-free R-410A. It is environmentally friendly to the atmosphere & higher in efficiency. All air conditioning system manufacturers are offering R-410A systems.

Retrofitting an R-22 system to an R-410A system is fairly easy, but often times more than just the equipment needs to be replaced. The piping frequently must be replaced too, to facilitate the R-410A system.

Please contact our svc mgr Bruce Battis (bruce@mjhayward.com) or one our estimators John Chaloux (john@mjhayward.com) & Justin Hayward (justin@mjhayward.com) or 603.298.6981 & 603.526.6331 for a free consultation & estimate.
