If you plan to purchase new equipment within the next few years, consider buying equipment that uses an ozone-friendly refrigerant. Your decision will likely depend on when you plan to purchase the new equipment and its expected lifespan. If you plan to operate the equipment beyond 2020, an alternative refrigerant may be the most economical decision over the long-term.
