Bad news for basement A/C industry

Tom, how do plan on getting air to the condenser coil?   The units coil is a "U" shape.   I understand what you want to do with the "house" side ductwork.   But what are you planning on doing for airflow thru the "odd" shapped coil?

Ahoy, Nick,

So  ----  R-22 is phased out now!!!   I've looked, and there are a gazillion replacements available for R-12, R-22, and even R-134.

I believe that most (all?) of these replacements are a mix of gases, hence, if you have a leak, selective distillation occurs.  Accordingly, you cannot just add refrigerant, you must replace.

Could you expand and clarify that for we 'less washed' than yourself??

Thanks   /s/   Bob
