It is now illegal to sell equipment containing R22 gas and many manufacturers are unable to provide even spare parts for these older systems. You are also unable to buy R22 gas in its original untainted form. Although some drop-in alternatives that are available but have never been really been tested with the manufacturers. There have been reports of problems with these products.
As a result of these changes, if you have an R22 system and it suffers a gas leak, it will not be possible to repair or re-charge your system after this date. If your unit is your sole source of heating or cooling and you have a failure, you may well be without heating or cooling.
