Facts About The Freon Phase-Out 

What was once an extremely popular refrigerant is now virtually banned from units like those offered by Carrier Clearwater dealers.  The coolant will soon become a remnant of the past, an outlawed component that technicians no longer recommend.  Be ready for the dwindling supply.  Read below to discover the facts about the upcoming Freon phase-out.

• Go out and purchase an AC unit that requires Freon and you will only be able to use it for a year.  After that time, you will have an extremely difficult time locating the refrigerant.  By 2010, it will no longer be manufactured – in fact, it will be completely phased out and illegal to supply.
• Freon is not friendly to the environment.  New refrigerants like Carrier-developed Puron are – and that is what the new, high-efficiency units require. 
• If you currently have an air conditioning unit that requires Freon, contact the professionals at Graham AC for advice.  You will likely want to replace your unit soon.  It may be tempting to keep a Freon-run unit longer if it is working well, but consider that the refrigerant will increase in price as the phase-out continues.  You are likely going to be better of in the long run if you just buy a new unit now.

Freon is becoming passé, but that can be good news for you.  Perhaps your current unit isn’t cutting it efficiency-wise.  Maybe your air quality has been low for some time.
