When should you buy a new system-now or wait?

The most common refrigerant in use is R410a, but with the government mandates now in effect, common refrigerants like R22 and R410 eventually get replaced and new equipment is produced. They thing to remember is that there is a lot of inventory out there still not sold and you can get a better deal on R410a equipment than on the new A2L's that are being sold. You will still get a 10 year warranty. The catch is that if the system does break down or refrigerant leaks out, you will have to pay for the technician labor-even if the parts are covered under warranty.
