Refrigerant Pricing

Let’s take a look:

R-134A – Thirty Pound Cylinder Pricing:

Fall 2017 – $140
Fall 2018 – $85
Jan 2019 – $88
But now is April,2019?

Most people had thought we had reached the bottom of the barrel when it came to R-134a pricing. This was especially the case when that notification was sent out in January stating that prices were going up. People were used to paying around $90-$100 a cylinder.

This new price of $70 is the lowest I have seen in years. In fact it’s close to where it was when I used to buy R-134a in bulk back in 2008. Back then I was paying around $61-$65… but that was before tariffs. I am really amazed to see the price back to almost pre-tariff levels. Who knows how much lower it will go.

R-410A – Twenty-Five Pound Cylinder Pricing:

Fall 2017 – $140
Fall 2018 – $65
Jan 2019 – $68
But now is April,2019?

Just like R-134a, R-410A is going down and down. At this point it’s difficult to forecast what will happen. I honestly don’t know folks. Will we keep going down, or will we start creep back up as the summer season sets in?

R22 – Refrigerant thirty Pound Cylinder Pricing:

Fall 2017 – $550
Fall 2018 – $350
Jan 2019 – $410 or Under
But now is April,2019?

There could be a resurgence in pricing as the summer season sets in and people began to realize that R-22 will be going away.
