Awesome huh. now we are getting emails from our safety. Now our resi guys have to question homeowners. I'm sure light commercial will be running rampant with this stuff. Light commercial seems to produce the most hackery around here. I bet they were loading skids into beatup pickups.

I have used r22a in three unit in summer 2012. Just to test it. It is propane,but it works. Can not be mixed. Use 1oz 22a for 2 1/2 of r22. Homeowner said his elec. bill was down by 30%. pressure about the same on low side and lower on the high side.

Was at the Farm store this afternoon( Rural King Supply) Large display set up with a video running promoting it. Do it yourself. Law suits waiting to happen. As far as I know Opening an A/C system requires certification. Thats screwing on a fitting opening the schrader. Going to be interesting ou there. Be SAFE.

I don't know why we don't just use gasoline. Its a darn good refrigerant.
The picture in my avatar is of the Houston Ship Channel and was taken from my backyard. I like to sit outside and slap mosquitos while watching countless supertankers, barges and cargo ships of every shape and size carry all sorts of deadly toxins to and fro. It's really beautiful at times.....just don't eat the three eyed fish....
