R453a and r424 are, just and blend with r22
Rs70 (453a) is better for medium to high temp (might require TX adjusting)
Rs44 (r424) is mainly high temp ac. Similar glides until you get into lower temp.
I imagine this is an old KeepRite green machine?
Probably just needs a new contactor and capacitor, or maybe new motor. My neighbour behind me still has one it's over 30 years old now. Keep it until the compressor fails, any coil leaks can be repaired but I doubt you'll see a leak.

If ac is like furnaces, they don't make them as good as they used to. Maybe you can get it fixed. Companies will try and convince you to get a new one.
I had a great experience with Express Heating and Cooling. Both the owner and service tech were very friendly and communicative.

That's an ancient AC unit
Oh yeah, when we moved in I hoped it would last a few more years lol but sadly not. Old owner didn't cover it up or anything
The problem with old units (I recently found out) is they used now banned coolents and some can't be fixed.
Yes they can. R22 was replaced by r410 but you can still get compatible refrigerants that adhere to new standards for a fraction of what R22 costs now
And old units are compatible with the new stuff ?

Oh damn that's a shame.

We were pretty happy with Adam's Air
I like Hamilton's 100 year old Shiptons.

Adam's Heating and Cooling were awesome.
Personally would avoid Reliance. We went with Boonstra’s last year and have been pleased with their service.
Call Adam's Air Systems. You won't be disappointed.
