Cordell Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 R22 is very expensive, R410a isn’t bad. Don’t know off hand because I only really work on cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Old unit, it's about 21 years old. I believe it's an Ruud furnace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Old unit, it's about 21 years old. I believe it's an Ruud furnace. Yea definitely going to be R22 then. I'd say likely $15-20 / lb, but I've not had a good reason to buy any lately. There has been hoarding going on for years. Read this if you're out of the loop on why it's so pricey: https://www.refrigerantdepot.com/r-22-prices-and-availability-in-2019/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff1647545513 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Through a company, you'll be $100-$150 /lbs for R22, which is what you have at that age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were charged $100 for a pound, a friend of my wife's thought that was crazy, but again, she also didn't know it was for R22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
