R22 refrigerant phase out

From 31st December 2009 no more virgin R22 refrigerant can be sold in the UK, in fact it will be against the law to even use virgin R22. Any virgin R22 still in the UK after that date must be sent for destruction, leaving only reclaimed R22 available to maintain existing systems.

As production of R22 is curtailed, prices will rise dramatically and supply shortages are expected. Using reclaimed refrigerant or a “drop-in” will be equally expensive, particularly as a drop-in cannot be mixed with the original R22 charge, and may also require an oil change. These increased refrigerant costs will of course be in addition to the normal costs associated with maintaining older systems.

The time is now right to replace those ageing R22  systems with a new system.
