Your Refrigerant is Due for a Change

Another change you need to be aware of is the phase out of R22, the refrigerant most commonly used in today's air conditioners and heat pumps. By 2010, all new air conditioners and heat pumps will be required to use "environmentally sound" refrigerant, such as R410A. This phase out has been mandated in an effort to help protect the earth's ozone layer.
We've seen this before. In the late 1980's, environmental concerns led to a total phase out of R12 in automotive air conditioners. If you owned a vehicle during that time, you may have experienced firsthand the rapidly rising costs of R12 or the expense of upgrading to newer technology. By making the change to R410A refrigerant now, you can protect yourself from the potentially higher future costs of servicing an air conditioner or heat pump that uses R22.

Tempstar Has you Covered
Tempstar offers a comprehensive line of products that use R410A refrigerant so that you can be ready for tomorrow's standards.

Things to Consider Before you Buy
The 13 SEER minimum efficiency law and R22 refrigerant phase out are unavoidable. Making an informed decision now on your home's air conditioner or heat pump can save you money later.

2006 Efficiency Change
• Any new system manufactured on or after January 23, 2006, will meet the new 13 SEER minimum requirement.
• Purchasing a higher SEER system now, at today's prices, will allow you to start saving on your monthly utility bills sooner.

2010 Refrigerant Change
• Phase out of R22 refrigerant will likely cuase a significant increase in the cost of R22.
• Tempstar's R410A refrigerant meets the 2010 standard for non-ozone-depleting refrigerants.
