Soooo…. Would you go with the Trane and the new refrigerant or the American Standard and the old refrigerant? Pros and cons?
Go with the old refrigerant. I was in HVAC and retired 12 years ago. I still speak to my friends that are still in the trade. They don’t speak highly of the new refrigerant/ units.
410 is still readily available.
