  • The capacitor was swelled and needed replaced. let the system run to find it was low on r22. 427a was able to keep this system going. No need to replace it just yet...

    Great Job, I used to do A/C on Automobiles way back when, did u need to retrofit any of the parts? To accept the new 427A freon? Or is the freon the new R22? Sorry been out of the loop for yrs now.🤭

      427A is designed to be a 'drop-in; R-22 replacement that has very similar pressures and requires no changes for existing R-22 systems. Basically a new production alternative to the shrinking R-22 supply and crazy prices yet I barely knew about R-22 replacements as someone not working in HVAC and was just concerned about new AC unit prices if our R-22 system developed a leak. R-22 was used in AC units until 2010 when it was replaced by 410-A in all new units, but 410-A runs at higher pressures than R-22 so they're not compatible and you need to find a certain R-22 replacement like seen here that can be used in pre-2010 AC units. This is basically the alternative to having to buy crazy overpriced new equipment if you have a repairable leak.

    How much is 427a per lb? What's the cost of replacing R-22 with 427a for household AC?

      We charge $60 per lb of 427a and do not stock or use r22...

    Did you make a long video if this job. I would like to see if you ended up replacing that failing condenser motor. Also I would have liked to see if you replaced the filter drier when you removed all the r-22 and replaced with 427-a. Which you probably did none of that. 427-a is my go to r-22 replacement but Im not a hack and mix 427-a and R-22. I recommend deleting this video if there is not a long form.

      No long video. Dryer was inside next to airhandler and was replaced. Everybody hacks stuff a time or two, so when you say you not a hack, understand that some jobs can not be completed to perfection depending on the customer. Im not a fan of blending gas. This particular gas station has its own repair men, not sure if they don't handle r22 or why I was there, but my job was to get that unit going and did just that.

      427a is a direct drop in replacement you can add it strait to R22.If you have a TXV might have a very slight temp glide will be fine.How about you post videos of your jobs since you’re so by the book show the rest of us how great you are

    Nice to see an honest tech and not a predatory salesman pushing new equipment at crazy prices these days. I only found out about R-22 replacements after some research and it seems the industry norm is either recharging with R-22 at crazy prices or new equipment. These drop-in R-22 replacements seem way less common than they should be when R-22 equipment is in good condition but lost charge from a repairable leak. I don't think I can buy these without an HVAC license but from what I understand 427A, 407x, and other R-22 drop-ins are like less than $50/pound versus the dwindling supply of R-22 being several hundred per pound these days.
