The results of the training are being reflected in hard numbers, such as reduced in-warrant compressor returns -- not only a reduction of R-410A compressors vs. comparable R-22 compressor returns over previous years, said Schneider.

In his position, Schneider said he has been "looking for what proof there is that R-410A is the right choice long term.I look at parameters like the number oem's with R-410A units, the number of years, the oldest of them have been installed, and the number of in-warranty compressor returns."

According to Schneider, the oldest 410A units have been in the field about six years, and most all unitary manufacturers now offer 410A a/c and heat pump models.In general, R-410A scroll in-warranty returns have been down 40% from comparable R-22 compressor in-warranty returns, he said.
