Over the past two decades, the EPA has phased out refrigerants in the name of environmental protection—starting with R22 (Freon) and now R410A. While the intention may be good, the real-world impact on homeowners has been tough.
Systems using R22 are still running strong in many homes, but since production stopped, prices have soared—some are charging $200 per pound. Now, R410A is also being phased out in favor of newer refrigerants like R454B, which again means increased costs, equipment changes, and limited serviceability for units that are only 10 years old.
The result? Homeowners are pushed toward premature replacement—not because the system has failed, but because refrigerant policy made it too expensive to maintain.
At Greentech Engineering HVAC, we believe in transparency. We’re here to help you navigate these changes without pressure or unnecessary upselling. If you have an R22 or R410A system and are unsure what to do next, feel free to reach out—we’ll give you the facts, not fear tactics.
