How do I know if my system uses R22 Refrigerant?
If your ac system was installed before 2010, there is a higher likelihood of using R-22 Refrigerant.
If you aren’t sure, there is a label on the outside unit, which should specify the refrigerant used. The label might say “R22,” “R-22,” or “HCFC-22.” These are all R-22 refrigerant.
If unable to determine, email a picture of the model & serial number to: info@legacyheatingandairinc.com
Can you swap out R22 Refrigerant and replace with R-410A?
If your device is operating on R-22 you cannot merely select any supplier of refrigerant and “swap” coolant. The cooling systems are incompatible and could harm your system as R-410A runs at a much higher pressure. Your system would need to be replaced.Can I purchase R22 independently?
