EarthPure^®, the Refrigerant Choice for the Future

EarthPure, a new refrigerant available in ClimateMaster geothermal heat pumps, allows homeowners to install the most environmentally-friendly heating and cooling system available today.  EarthPure (R-410A) is a non-chlorine based (HFC) refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential.  Most heat pumps and air conditioners still use R-22 (HCFC) refrigerant, which can no longer be used in air conditioners and heat pumps after 2010.  Although  R-22 will still be available for service, production will be reduced each year, potentially causing the cost of R-22 refrigerant to increase in the same manner as did R-12 for automobile air conditioners in the 1990s.  EarthPure is the refrigerant of choice for the foreseeable future, and is inherently more efficient than the older R-22 refrigerant, giving even more advantages to homeowners with EarthPure geothermal systems.
