Freon sub for your home & car A/C

[sxeC6]

I was talking to buddy the other day and he was complaining about his home A/C not putting out much cold air and I told him of my experience and figured some of you may have the same problem during this hot weather.

I got tired of paying an A/C Tech every Spring to come and recharge, usually, both of my units. I used to do it myself, but now you have to be licenced to buy R-22.

So I did a search and found autorefrigerants.com. I bought a 6 pack of their ES-22a plus two cans of heavy duty sealer and a charging hose with a gauge, all for under a 100 bucks. That was 4 years ago and I still have 3 cans of the ES-22 left. To say this stuff works is an understatement. It's one of the few times that I have found that the promotional hype equals the result.

You shouldn't need to recharge every season. If so, there's a leak.

You do know that's just purified LP gas, right?

Go online and get your EPA license. Takes 20 minutes. I spnet the full hour and can buy what ever type refrigerant I want.

I know that's why I put in sealer. You're supposed to run your compressor in the winter to keep the seals oiled, but who remembers.

I don't care what it is . All I know is that it works for me.

Why? I can buy this stuff and don't need anything, but a credit card.

Because it isn't real refrigerant it is LP Gas, usually a mixture of butane and propane. It isn't safe!! At least that's what the people making and selling refrigerant will tell you.
If the truth was known it has been used as a refrigerant for years in Europe and Asia. I had a little electric refrigerator that my niece bought in Egypt. It runs on 12 volts and mounts in a vehicle, it uses LP gas as the refrigerant.

Like I said I put it in June of 2007 and haven't touched it since, so I'm more than happy.
