R-22 Refrigerant 30 lb Jug — New, Factory Sealed
For contractors still servicing R-22 equipment, this is the bulk supply: a 30 lb jug of new, factory-sealed R-22 that meets all EPA standards. Brands vary by supplier. New R-22 production and import ended in the U.S. in 2020, so a sealed 30 lb jug is a practical way to keep legacy air conditioners and heat pumps running through repairs and recharges. Purchase requires EPA Section 608 certification or a signed resale letter. For a small top-off, the R-22 28 oz can with gauge and hose may be all you need.
Is the 30 lb R-22 Jug the Right Size?
The 30 lb jug is for technicians who regularly work on R-22 equipment, such as recharging after a coil or compressor repair or keeping a property's older systems in service. It holds enough for full system charges and multiple service calls.
Because supply now comes from existing stock, owners often weigh the cost of a major R-22 repair against replacing the system. A full jug lets you handle the repair when that's the right choice, and Budget Heating can help size a replacement when it isn't.
Ideal for: HVAC contractors and service companies that maintain legacy R-22 air conditioners and heat pumps.
Only need a top-off? The R-22 28 oz can with UV dye and stop leak handles small charge adjustments.
Refrigerant purchases require the Refrigerant Agreement and proof of EPA Section 608 certification, or a signed resale letter emailed to admin@budgetheating.com. Orders can't be processed until it's received. For use by qualified HVAC/R technicians. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still buy new R-22?
Yes, from existing supply. New production and import ended in the U.S. in 2020, but factory-sealed R-22 can still be sold to EPA 608 certified technicians for servicing existing equipment.
I'm a distributor, not a technician. Can I purchase?
Yes. Email a signed letter with your legal name stating the refrigerant will only be resold to someone who can present an EPA 608 certification to admin@budgetheating.com.
Why won't my order ship right away?
Orders can't be processed until your EPA 608 card or signed resale letter is received. Upload it at checkout or email it to admin@budgetheating.com to avoid delays.
Is there an alternative to R-22 for older systems?
Several replacements are sold for R-22 equipment, including R-407C and MO99 (R-438A). Consult the equipment manufacturer before converting a system.
When should I replace an R-22 system instead of recharging it?
If the system needs a major repair or keeps leaking, replacement is often worth pricing. Budget Heating's quote team can help size a new system.
What should I use to recover old R-22?
Use a recovery machine and a recovery cylinder rated for HCFC refrigerants, such as the 30 lb refrigerant recovery cylinder.
