I had my A/C serviced yesterday and everthing checked out good. While the service man was there he told me that by law they would not be getting any more R22 Freon in after January 1, 2020, in fact he said his company would not be replacing any and run down their inventory. Also, also stated there would be a heavy fine for having R22 on their truck after that date. Has anyone else heard this and if so what are your plans? My unit is 10 years old.

I think I have read that R22 is available and that the price is escalating rapidly as the supply slowly runs out. I don't believe his statement about fines for having it on his truck...

Anyway, when the tech came out he didn't even look at it. He said he was not going to service it and save us some money since it is already old. (he is also our boiler guy for many years)

When he was at our home last I remember him putting more Freon in it. He said he didn't remember that. But anyway, we were surprised, thinking that the fact that it was old was a good reason to have it serviced. I wonder if this refrigerant issue had something to do with him not checking it.

So now I am worrying that it will break and need to be replaced just in time for when we will be putting our house up for sale next year and it will kill me to have to spend the money so someone else could have use of a brand new unit! Doesn't mean that if he serviced it it still wouldn't have broke down, but still.

Have you been limping along with your older R22 air conditioner? Hoping to avoid replacing it during the high season? Especially if you know your unit has a refrigerant leak, you may be trying to decide how long you can get by before you’ll have to invest in a new system. An important factor in making that decision is answering the question: when does R22 become illegal?
