R-22 Freon Still Available in Carroll County, Ohio (First Come, First Served)
Carroll County Homeowners — If Your AC Uses R-22 Refrigerant, Please Read This
If you live in Carrollton, Malvern, Dellroy, Sherrodsville, Augusta, or near Atwood Lake, this may directly affect your air conditioning system.
At Nuts About Comfort, we currently still have a limited supply of R-22 refrigerant available for existing systems — but once it’s gone, it’s gone.
What Is R-22 Refrigerant?
R-22 (often called Freon) was commonly used in air conditioning systems installed before 2010. Due to federal phase-out regulations, R-22 is no longer manufactured in the United States.
That means:
• Supply is limited
• Prices continue to rise
• Availability becomes more unpredictable each year
If your air conditioner in Carroll County was installed before 2010, there’s a strong chance it uses R-22.
Why This Matters for Carroll County Homeowners
During Ohio summers — especially around Atwood Lake and throughout Carrollton and Malvern — your AC works hard to remove both heat and humidity.
If your system develops a refrigerant leak and uses R-22:
• It cannot simply be “topped off” forever
• The refrigerant must be available
• Repairs can become more expensive over time
Right now, we still have R-22 available.
But we are offering it first come, first served to our local customers.
This Is NOT a Pressure Post
We want to be very clear.
We are not telling you to replace your system today.
In fact, our philosophy is the opposite.
We believe in:
• Repairing systems whenever safely possible
• Helping homeowners extend equipment life
• Giving honest guidance, not scare tactics
But if you already know your AC is low on refrigerant or has needed R-22 before, now is the time to get on the schedule.
How Do You Know If Your System Uses R-22?
Here’s how Carroll County homeowners can check:
Look at the data plate on the outdoor AC unit.
Check installation date (before 2010 is common for R-22).
Look for “HCFC-22” or “R-22” listed on the label.
Call us — we’ll help you determine it quickly.
The Bigger Picture: Repair vs Replace
You are the hero of this story — this is your home, your comfort, your investment.
Our role is to guide you through the decision.
If your R-22 system:
• Is cooling properly
• Has no major leaks
• Is structurally sound
Repair may absolutely make sense.
If your system:
• Is leaking frequently
• Has major component failure
• Is 15+ years old
Then we’ll walk you through modern, energy-efficient replacement options — clearly and honestly.
No pressure.
Just facts.
