Air Conditioners
All of Rheem/Ruud’s residential air conditioners come with the highly esteemed Copeland scroll compressor. This compressor is known for its quiet and efficient operation. The replacement of your air conditioner’s compressor can be your most costly of repairs, so you want to have the best available. This compressor is actually described as a part that wears in rather than wearing out, improving its operation as it ages.
Save Money: Install Units with R-410A Refrigerant
Schneider Heating & Cooling, Inc. desires to give its customers the most environmental and economical deal. That is why Schneider Heating & Cooling sells only units that use the R-410A refrigerant.
As the cost for R-22 is so unpredictable, it would be in the interest of all to make the switch to the earth-friendly R-410A. For more information on the R-22 phase out timeline, please check out the EPA’s informative brochure.
All new air conditioning installations for your home come with the manufacturer’s 10-year parts warranty and JB & Associates’ Premium Protection Plan 10-year labor warranty.
Units that Use R-410A Refrigerant
These units come with the earth-friendly R-410A refrigerant.

As the cost for R-22 may continue to rise, future service work done on your unit that would require replacing the refrigerant may end up costing you more.
