refrigerant prices

Anybody else bought any refrigerant recently?? How much has it gone up in your neck of the woods?? Since the end of last summer, a 30lb can of R-22 has gone up another $25 and a 25lb can of R-410a has gone up almost $60.


Anywhere from $76.00 to $87.00 for a 30# bottle if bought by the skid Western PA Johnstone....$76.00 United Refrigeration....$81.00 Pierce-Phelps.....$87.00

It keep going up with the Frickin Government taxes until it is discontinued like R-12 and R-502

But I am still at $25.00 per lb

30# R-22 is $91.00 each 25# R-410a is $340.00 each

1-4lbs R-22 (flat rate) is $79.00 1-4lbs R-410a (flat rate) is $173.00

First pound is still free for now.

My recent check showed that only Refrigerant price recently went up was R-134 which I hardly ever use Dido

Only one to a customer.... and more than 1 pound mandates an electronic leak search(thats not free), and leak repairs (thats not free either). :-)

I'll take 1000 packages of "first pound R-22" please. :-)

and aren't you near Atlanta? If I remember correctly

south Mississippi, near Hattiesburg

Oh sure, I see, never give the client what they want. LOL

Not a dumb question.... it works like this...

$70 for the service call/diagnostics $79 for 1-4 lbs of R-22 (also triggers electronic leak search) Leak search, depending on how involved to find out where it went ranges from $28 - $110 (usually its in the evap coil...$55)

Assuming leaky evap coil replacement.... 10 SEER runs $716 - $920 installed, plus any additional refrigerant, TXV coils run $1036 - $1320 installed plus any additional refrigerant. Coil replacement usually takes me 3 1/2 - 4 hours.

I don't do *JUST* a "gas and go", and only schedule 4 calls per day...If any other calls come in that day, I will only *DO* a maximum of 6 calls a day....there is not enough hours to do more than that if your doing your job correctly.

yup

yup

nope

not a problem. The thing about flat rate is that I don't charge "labor", its already built into the "installed price" so it doesn't matter if it takes 3 minutes, 3 hours, or 3 days, the price stays the same.

I handle the good stuff.... I am a Rheem dealer :-)

I thought you were the person (a Trane dealer) that he and I swapped price lists to see the difference , if any in units. Me being an American-Standard dealer. This was about 5 years ago and I did forget who it was....I'm getting to frickin old And since no one is interesting in buying a job (buy my business)...I'll just keep putting up with the damn public a few more years

I plead Not Guilty!! I figure to hang with my business for a few more years yet.... just now getting it to where somebody would actually *want* to buy it.

American-Standard

I think you are talking about Steve, CBHVAC.

He was playing with Trane for awhile. He was a York dealer at the time.
