Hi, CBHVAC,
We live in south Florida, where high humidity is a daily occurrence.
The old unit is Ruud Achiever 12, 3.5 ton, which is leaking
refrigerant, aka R22.
The quote for the new 3.5 ton 13 SEER Rheem says, "connected to
existing refrigerant and electrical lines". So, I assume the new one
will use R22, too.
Isn't R22 being phased out and gone after 2010? What'll happen in
2011, when we run low on refrigerant?
