The situation

Your system runs on R-22 and a recharge now costs a small fortune, or it runs on R-410A and you have heard that is being phased out too. Somebody has probably offered to convert the gas in your existing unit for a few hundred dollars.

What we do about it

Here is the part most people will not tell you: there is no legitimate drop-in gas swap. R-454B and R-32 are not interchangeable with R-410A or R-22. Operating characteristics, oil compatibility and safety classification all differ, and A2L refrigerants require rated equipment and line sets. A real conversion means correctly sized new equipment, proper recovery and reclaim of the old refrigerant, and a system that is actually matched. We quote that honestly rather than selling you a retrofit that does not exist.

  • Honest assessment of what your current system runs on
  • R-22 system replacement with current R-454B or R-32 equipment
  • Proper recovery and reclaim of old refrigerant, documented
  • Line set evaluation and replacement where required
  • A2L-rated equipment installed to current requirements
  • Straight answer on whether converting now or waiting makes more sense

Signs it is time to call

  • A recharge on your system was quoted at a startling price per pound
  • The data plate says R-22, sometimes labeled as Freon
  • Somebody offered to convert your existing unit to a new gas cheaply
  • The system is losing charge every season and nobody has found the leak
  • You are planning ahead and want to know where you actually stand

How the job runs

  1. Step 1

    Identify what you have

    We read the data plate and confirm the refrigerant, the age and the condition. A surprising number of homeowners have been told they are on R-22 when they are not.

  2. Step 2

    Assess whether it is worth doing now

    If your R-410A system is healthy, the honest answer is usually to keep running it and replace it at end of life. We will tell you that even though it means no job today.

  3. Step 3

    Quote the real scope

    Equipment, line set, labor, permit, refrigerant recovery and disposal. One written number, with the reasoning behind the equipment choice explained rather than buried.

  4. Step 4

    Convert and document

    Old refrigerant recovered and reclaimed properly, new matched system installed and commissioned, and you keep the paperwork.
