New Air Conditioning Rules
If you are considering the purchase of a new air conditioning, you need to keep this new rule in mind ...
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is phasing out production of R-22 refrigerant (AKA: Freon). This will dramatically increase the cost of this refrigerant nationwide in the coming months. It is estimated that Freon will increase in price from about $50 per pound today to over $100 per pound by the end of this summer.
So, instead of buying a new AC system with a Freon-based refrigerant, property owners today need to purchase systems that have R-410a (aka: Puron) refrigeration systems. Such systems are available now.
So, why am I bringing this up in a blog site that is usually only about real estate issues? Because frankly, having the new kind of AC system is one of those items that will help increase the desirability of your property if you should decide to sell it. It should help your property sell faster and for a higher price than a property with the old Freon-based cooling system.
