R22 30lb Refrigerant Cylinder – Virgin HCFC-22 for HVAC Systems

R-22 30lb Virgin Refrigerant Cylinder – Houston Legacy HVAC Supply

Plenty of homes and small businesses across Houston are still running air conditioners built well
before 2010, all of them charged with R-22. Finding a reliable, honestly sourced supply has gotten
harder every year, and Refrigerants Center keeps 30 lb virgin cylinders on hand specifically for
those service calls.

This cylinder holds virgin HCFC-22, factory sealed and never reclaimed, for direct use on equipment
originally designed and rated for R-22.

Understanding R-22’s Regulatory Status

R-22 is an ozone-depleting HCFC whose production and import have been phased down under U.S. federal
regulations, with virgin production now effectively ended and remaining legal supply drawn from
existing stock. That scarcity is exactly why prices have climbed and why a dependable local source
matters more than ever for techs still servicing this equipment.

Who Still Needs R-22

HVAC contractors maintaining older split systems, window units, and packaged equipment across
Houston’s established neighborhoods rely on this cylinder to keep aging systems running until a
customer is ready for full replacement. Property managers with older rental housing stock are among
the most consistent buyers, since replacing every unit at once is rarely practical.

Refrigerants Center keeps this cylinder in stock at our Houston warehouse, with same-day and next-day local delivery routed through Pearland and Friendswood. Techs working across Pasadena and Baytown, Katy and Cypress, and Sugar Land and Missouri City order from us just as often, since one Houston-based supplier covers the whole metro without the wait times of national distributors. Landlords and facilities teams managing older apartment communities across the metro keep standing orders with us so a low-charge unit never turns into a habitability issue.

Compliance and Handling

All cylinders ship DOT-compliant and are sold in accordance with EPA Section 608/609 rules. Refrigerants Center verifies technician certification on regulated refrigerant orders before dispatch from our Houston warehouse. Because remaining R-22 supply is limited, we recommend planning ahead for
larger jobs rather than waiting for an emergency call.

Considering a Retrofit Instead?

For customers ready to move off R-22 without a full equipment swap, our
R-438A retrofit refrigerant is a non-ozone-depleting
alternative designed to work in many existing R-22 systems.
