R22 Gas Phase Out

R22 is a refrigerant gas that is in the bracket of Hydrochlorofluorocarbons, commonly used across air conditioning, heat pump and refrigeration systems.

Legality

HCFCs have become illegal for servicing and maintenance in 2015, meaning that many systems will need to be replaced or altered in order to comply with this legislation. In 2013, approximately 55% of the country’s air conditioning systems were using this refrigerant, but within the next two years these units will not be able to be serviced, and new HFC based inverter systems will be 30-40% more efficient.

Your unit may need to be replaced in order to adhere to the ruling, in which case you will require expert assistance, which Airway Group can provide.
