Puron vs. Freon

For nearly a century, homeowners just like you have put their trust in Carrier for comfort, reliability and energy savings. That tradition continues today as we expand our environmentally sound family of products using the chlorine-free refrigerant Puron.

In 2010 manufacturers will no longer make residential R-22 refrigerant heat pumps and air conditioners. In 2020 R-22 refrigerant will no longer be produced with the possibility of the cut off date being moved up to 2018. When a refrigerant is phased out, the cost of servicing and replacing products using that refrigerant rises dramatically.

Your local Carrier dealer is the key to helping you avoid the rising costs associated with R-22. We will analyze your home comfort needs and recommend the puron system that makes sense for you.

Puron refrigerant replaces R-22 with proven efficiency and comfort. Very soon, you will be faced with a decision about your comfort. As the costs associated with R-22 rise and supplies of the refrigerant are reduced, you will need to either continue servicing your current system, or you can improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency with Carrier products using the environmentally sound Puron refrigerant.

Puron is the long-term solution for environmentally sound heating and cooling. And, it's a refrigerant we've been using quite successfully in homes like yours since 1996.

Carrier offers better efficiency, quieter operation and greater environmental safety, Carrier's Puron air conditioners, heat pumps, fan coils and packaged products are excellent choices for enhanced indoor comfort now and for the future.
