The R-22 Freon Phase-Out and Chicago AC Owners

R-22 refrigerant (often called Freon) has been phased out and is no longer produced. This guide explains what that means for Chicago AC owners.

Why R-22 Was Phased Out

R-22 was phased out under environmental regulations due to its ozone-depleting properties.

What It Means for Owners

Recharging an R-22 system is increasingly impractical. Replacing an R-22 AC with a modern refrigerant system is often the better path.
