A Note From Tom

   Beginning January 1^st 2010, the air conditioning industry will stop making equipment for the old freon R-22.

    The industry may come up with some workarounds, but I don't know what they will be. Here at Advanced Air, we have to assume there will be problems getting outdoor units, coils and expansion valves (used with the coils to adapt them to the new refrigerant).

    After 1/1/2010, you may have to replace NEW equipment because of a failure involving a part of a system that uses R-22.

    For example: You have a new R-22 air conditioner and the old coil fails. You could have to replace the New air conditioner in addition to the old coil.

    We recommend replacing both the coil and condenser using R-410a (the new freon) when either fails to prevent replacing good new equipment at a later date. That does not mean we won't do a half system replacement, just that we want you to know ahead of time the repercussions.

    On the matter of heatpumps, we will continue to replace only matched systems due to the likelihood of improper operation and that most warranties are voided.  The same logic is applicable for them as for the air conditioners, even when we can match them.

    I understand that with our economic situation, none of us can afford to spend any more than we have to. If this makes your decision difficult, I'm truly sorry.

Sincerely,

Tom Wilson, Owner
