R-22 refrigerant, the coolant of choice in pre-2010 systems is continually being phased out by the E.P.A and U.S. Government due to environmental concerns in favor of R-410, a friendlier alternative. As of January 1, 2020, only recovered, recycled or reclaimed R-22 may be used to service existing systems, with the cost of maintaining these systems expected to rise. When selecting a new system, be certain it is R-410A compatible.
