QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Can you remove R22 and use 404A in its a home ac unit

    No you cannot. Please consult with a local contractor for retrofit options.

  • I am licensed for 12. Can I also buy r404a?

    If your license is EPA 609 or for MVAC only then you cannot purchase R404a with that license.

  • What is the tare weight of this cylinder?

    Cylinder plus gas inside is about 26-27 lbs.

  • Can you put 134A in a 404 A system if it has been recovered

    Most likely not due to different pressure settings. Please consult a licensed tech.

  • Can you add 134a to a system that already has 404a in it

    No, you are not supposed to mix refrigerants. Thank you.

  • Can I add 404A to my home AC unit that runs on R22

    No you cannot mix them like that and R404a is not a replacement for R22 in typical AC application. Thanks.

  • why cant I purchase more than 1 cylinder of 24LB R-404

    You can order more than one but you will have to order them separately on our website as there is a limit of one per order. If you are looking for 10 or more we can have the factory drop ship them on a pallet.
