03Supply
Buy R-22
Reclaimed only, tested to AHRI-700. No virgin R-22 has been produced since 2020 — reclaimed gas and pre-ban stock are the only legal supply.
Every reclaimed batch we ship is tested in our laboratory against AHRI Standard 700. Confirm equipment compatibility and application requirements when ordering. No prices are published: refrigerant markets move weekly, so every order is quoted on current supply.
// Every {designation} order
- Reclaimed batches verified to AHRI-700 before shipment
- Quoted by cylinder size and current market — no published price lists
- Will-call in Santa Fe Springs or delivery across Southern California

05Regulatory status
Where R-22 stands
HCFC (Class II ODS)
New production and import have been banned in the United States since January 1, 2020 under the Clean Air Act HCFC phaseout. The production phaseout does not itself prohibit servicing existing R-22 equipment. The only legal supply is reclaimed R-22 and pre-2020 inventory, so available stock shrinks every year.
