Do you think it would be wise to switch over to 410?

No. R22 is superior to R410 in every physical respect. The only issue
is
availability of R22, which is to be artificially restricted by men with
guns (i.e., the gummint), not by the market. But this is not supposed
to
happen for longer than your system today will last.

Go to epatest.com and get an EPA license and stock up on R-22 while it
is
still legal. The people who did this with R-12 in 1992 made a fortune,
buying at $1/lb and reselling 5 or 10 years later for $50/lb.


With systems already being designed for the likes of NU22, Im not sure
this
will be the case this time.



what you seem to be overlooking is the bazillions of existing
commercial and residentail systems that DO contain R-22.


Kinda like all those vehicles with R12?


Do you think that all this gas will be vented? Burned or destroyed?
Not recovered & reclaimed?


Ok...point taken...

But...

Look up NU22, from ICOR.


And what about the countries that havent signed on board the Montreal
Protocol? I'll bet they have gazillions more systems running r-22,
until hell freezes over.
