What does the refrigerant transition actually cost?
R-22 is 7x more expensive than modern alternatives. Calculate the true cost of keeping old systems vs. upgrading — and see when the investment pays for itself.
Why this matters now
R-22 production ended in 2020. Reclaimed R-22 now costs $85+/lb vs. $12/lb for R-410A. The EPA's AIM Act phases down HFCs by 85% by 2036, making R-410A the current standard and R-454B the next-gen replacement. For HVAC contractors, this creates a massive upsell opportunity — and for building owners, a ticking cost bomb.
