[Gay State Conservative]

I live in a multi-story condo building where the A/C compressors are on the roof and,therefore,reachable only by a tall ladder.IOW they're only accessible to actual A/C technicians.

Although I'm not sure I think my unit might be 30+ years old.I've always assumed that it's not as energy efficient as more recent units but I've been willing to live with that.

But with this R22 business do any of you experts out there know if this means that I'll be forced to replace the unit?

Yes,
I am responsible for over 115 R22 5Tn Split and Package units. I tried to convince my company to begin a staged replacement to R410a units a few years back to avoid the inevitable 1.4 mil redo. No balls, they told me to replace as needed. We’re way behind. Our units are pushing 20 yrs, and in Arizona, that’s a feat for commercial units. We’re gonna get whacked. If I were you, I’d get those capital dollars set aside.
