What Should You Know Before Air Conditioner Installation If Your System Uses R-22?

- New air conditioner installation requires modern, EPA-approved refrigerants that are more energy efficient.
- Replacing an R-22 unit often reduces long-term repair costs and improves cooling performance.
- Upgrading now helps you avoid future service limitations and ensures compliance with current standards.
