We've mentioned the likelihood of sticker shock in terms of air conditioning repair, but its official: RU-22 is expensive to replace. The chemical commonly used as Freon in air conditioners across the globe for the past 40 years skyrocketed in price in recent months due to the federal government's call to quit producing it. Specifically, it's about a 300 percent uptick in price compared to last year.
The Miami air conditioner experts know its put air conditioner owners in quite a predicament-after all, with costs exceeding $500 to repair Freon leaks, it makes you wonder if it's cheaper or more cost efficient to upgrade to a newer unit that doesn't require Freon. Considering that Freon is already up to $90 a pound, up from $10 a pound a few years ago, the trend is likely to continually rise.
