On Sept. 21, 2007, parties to the Montreal Protocol overwhelmingly agreed to accelerate the phaseout of HCFCS to protect the ozone layer and combat climate change with adjustments beginning in 2010 to production and consumption allowances for developed and developing countries. R-22 was still around to purchase until 2020, but the price increased or decreased depending on demand.
Today’s best air conditioners use much less energy to produce the same amount of cooling as air conditioners made in the mid-1970s. Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save significantly on your cooling costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model. Products with the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® label can save homeowners 10% to 40% on their heating and cooling bills every year. Replacing your old R-22 system with an R-410A system may be the best option to reduce your current electric bills.
