Visit the Interactive Site Environmentally Sound Puron® Refrigerant Puron is the refrigerant of the future, and Carrier is prepared to help homeowners like you enjoy improved comfort right now, with a full line of products utilizing this performance-enhancing refrigerant. You may not realize it, but your existing heating and cooling system is an endangered species. That's the result of the 1990 Clean Air Act. These documents call for an international phase out on future manufacturing of the refrigerant R-22, which is currently used in most air conditioning and heat pump systems. In response to this phase out, Carrier has been hard at work assisting in the development of a replacement refrigerant. Extensive testing in hundreds of thousands of homes in the marketplace has helped us determine that Puron is superior to R-22 in performance and energy efficiency, in addition to being environmentally sound. These outstanding results have made Puron refrigerant the universally accepted, long-term refrigerant for the heating and cooling industry. Carrier is the first manufacturer to develop indoor cooling products using Puron, the chlorine-free replacement refrigerant for R-22. As companies worldwide race to switch over to chlorine-free refrigerants, Carrier offers the experience of having introduced the first air conditioners with an alternative refrigerant back in 1996. Now, Carrier is expanding its line to offer a wide range of environmentally sound products. Carrier's superior technology enables you to begin investing in your future today with air conditioning systems that are environmentally sound. A Carrier air conditioning system with Puron refrigerant delivers enhanced energy efficiency, quieter operation and outstanding reliability today ¿ while meeting the environmental standards of the future. Puron refrigerant has a proven record of outstanding reliability and has been approved by the EPA for use in the United States. European and Japanese markets are also introducing products using this high-performance, chlorine-free refrigerant. Carrier's initial central air conditioner using Puron refrigerant shows exceptional reliability, with the lowest incidence of service in Carrier's entire product line. The improved energy efficiency of our line of indoor products with Puron refrigerant will result in a reduction in your heating or cooling costs. And, by making the switch to a system utilizing Puron refrigerant now, you may avoid the potentially rising costs associated with servicing or replacing R-22-based systems. Carrier heating and cooling experts are specially trained and certified to install and service Carrier products using Puron refrigerant.

Puron's heat-transfer properties lend themselves to higher-efficiency performance. Future cost of service savings ¿ Because of U.S. government restrictions on future production, refrigerants with ozone-harming CFCs, the refrigerant used in most of today's heat pumps and air conditioners, will become harder to find and, eventually, more expensive. Switching to Puron now can help you avoid the potential rising cost of servicing most of today's air conditioners and heat pumps.
