Newer units take R410 a lot cheaper for Freon and more efficient. I hold a Masters HVAC License and a universal CFC license here in Delaware. Any other HVAC questions ? Please ask.
Couldn't you simply convert the unit to use the new type freon like they did when they changed over cars? I think my older car simply had a few valves replaced with newer types. Very low cost.
