The EPA has cut the production of R22 freon by 45% for 2012 over 2011. The price on it has jumped over 80% in the last two days, and many wholesalers are doubting they can even get it. FReepers should contact their congressmen about this or it is going to be a very hot summer.

There is a huge amount of equipment in the field that relies on R22....probably 80% of existing.

And with flags flying and bands playing the EPA is marching us back to the Middle Ages where filth and death from disease was the norm.

“FReepers should contact their congressmen about this or it is going to be a very hot summer. “

Congress no longer makes such laws. They are made by radical activists given the authority of God over all of us.

Yep, I found out Tuesday. It took me a while to find the root cause.

My biggest concern is availability.

Great my central unit is 20 years old and uses R-22. I had a shot of 22 added too it last summer. I see a new condensing unit purchase headed my way. Black market foreign produced 22 will hit the streets soon too. With all the issues black market 12 had of course.

The new units are R410 snipe, so you have to upgrade the indoor coil too.

Adds about a grand to the cost.

They’ve got dry R22 condensers still available, but if you can’t get the freon..............

If you have an R-22 machine you best chain a doberman to it or the freon will turn up missing one morning.

Worth more than copper.
