That is true. However, it does not mean that you cannot get Refrigerant (Freon) R-22 anymore. What it means is that new, virgin R-22 can no longer be manufactured or imported into the United States as of January 1st, 2020. That being said, there is, and likely will be for quite some time, plenty of refrigerant R-22 to be had. The cost of refrigerant R-22 has been pretty volatile over the last couple of years but seems to have stabilized quite a bit recently. Whatever you do, don't fall for scare tactics like someone telling you that you have to replace your system, just because it has refrigerant R-22. That's simply not the case.
