no surprise. Also has information on the environmental benefits of R-290...also way cheaper.

I watched his vids and read his blog with great interest..
I also noticed his youtube chat about possibly using R-290 in an R-410a system..


As you know, I have a broken R-410a outdoor system and could buy the indoor side for about $500.

Please comment..

Thanks,

You'll need to make some kind of modification to the metering device, and also change out the compressor lubricant.
