HVAC - Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
Federal law phases out Freon for Home A/C Units in 2011
(you would then have to use either R-410A or Puron).
I suggest that you ONLY buy A/C units using the new R-410A or Puron (a Carrier trademark).
Federal law (2006) mandated the lowest A/C SEER rating that you can purchase is 13 SEER.
