Freon absorbs the heat in your home and removes it outside, while also removing humidity and creating cold air.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why is R-22 Freon being phased out?<\/span> &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most residential home air conditioners in the Hampton Virginia area have a Freon called R-22, which contains Chlorine. &nbsp;Chlorine causes significant damage to the ozone layer.&nbsp; In an&nbsp;effort to reduce ozone depletion, the government issued a phaseout, which will end all manufactured R-22 Freon by 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What does this Freon phaseout mean for me?<\/span> &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This phaseout has caused the price of R-22 to skyrocket and it will only continue to rise as the supply decreases and we approach 2020. &nbsp;Does your R-22 Air Conditioning System have a leak? &nbsp;If so, it\u2019s time to consider a replacement system that carries the more environmentally friendly R-410A Freon. &nbsp;Should you decide to&nbsp;continue to recharge your Freon, the costs to repair will be much more than last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Where can I get more information about changing to R-410A Freon?<\/span> &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information on a&nbsp;replacement system to your R-22 cooling system, call us today at 757-838-1036 or <a href=\"http:\/\/atlanticphac.com\/request.html\">schedule online<\/a>. Replacing your R-22 system is more affordable now than you think. &nbsp;Atlantic Plumbing, Heating &amp; Air Conditioning gives free estimates on&nbsp;new R-410A Systems. &nbsp;These new systems will save you anywhere from 15-30% on utility bills and lower repair costs in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your air conditioner\u2019s Freon is being phased out. &nbsp;It is harmful to the environment and inefficient compared to newer refrigerants.
