MAKE YOUR PROPERTY THE COOLEST: HVAC UPDATES
Over the last 10 years, R-22 refrigerant for HVAC units has been phased out by the EPA. The phaseout is due to environmental concerns from the hydrochlorofluorocarbons the R-22 refrigerant uses, which deplete the ozone layer. Already, the supply of R-22 is limited and expensive. By January 1, 2020, R-22 will be com- pletely phased out.

The best solution to this phaseout is to update your HVAC system. If your HVAC units were manufactured prior to 2010 then it's likely they use R-22. Any HVAC system manufactured after January 1, 2010, doesn't use R-22 because it became illegal to manufacture or install HVAC systems with R-22. If you have an older HVAC unit, you won't be able to replace the refrigerant after 2020.
