Installation

With the use of R-22 refrigerant set to be 99.5% phased out in commercial and residential HVAC products by 2020, it’s important that you understand your options. While you can leave your aging system in place or convert to an alternative refrigerant, doing so will require more maintenance and result in reduced efficiency that can negatively impact unit performance and the quality of your residents’ comfort, in addition to impacting their utility costs.

Fortunately, there is a third option—transitioning from R-22 to a new condensing unit. New systems are designed to be more energy efficient—installing one will reduce energy consumption and increase your residents’ comfort and satisfaction. New systems also require much less maintenance, thereby decreasing the budget implications of unplanned maintenance expenses, and freeing up your time that is ordinarily spent servicing units. Additionally, new systems fall under the manufacturer’s registered warranty, typically covering the cost of your parts for 10 years from the date of installation.
