Technology
Are there any other uses of the technology?
Absolutely. The underlying technology is presently installed in over one million automotive air conditioning systems. The name of the automotive product is ICE 32.
Is the product hazardous or harmful in any way?
No. The product is not hazardous. The product is packaged and installed in a manner that ensures the product goes from the package directly into the air conditioning system.
Who makes the product?
Shrieve Chemical Products, Inc. With a 30 year history, they are a leading manufacturer of refrigeration and air conditioning oils and lubricants, based in Houston, Texas. Nu-Calgon provides the national distribution of A/C Re-New in North America through local air conditioning, refrigeration and heating wholesalers and distributors.
Is A/C Re-New similar to the additives commonly used in refrigeration oils?
No, those types of additives use surface reactive chemistry, and some can cause stability problems. A/C Re-New is a highly stable base lubricant that has outstanding anti-wear and extreme pressure characteristics.
Does the product contain chlorine or is sulfur-based like some competitive products?
No! Chlorine-based or sulfur-based lubricants can cause damage to your air conditioning system. Some of our competitors products do, in fact, use chlorine or are sulfur-based, so please beware.

Air Conditioner
Can A/C Re-New damage my A/C system?
No. A/C Re-New was specifically designed to improve residential, commercial and automotive air conditioning systems. The product has undergone extensive third-party industry standard tests to ensure that it does not negatively impact the refrigerant or metal components in your system. In fact, the testing indicated that A/C Re-New improved thermal conductivity, reduced wear and tear, and reduced corrosion in both refrigerant and metal components.
Can A/C Re-New leak out of my A/C system?
No. The A/C Re-New resides in the compressor lubricant. If there was a leak in your system, only very small traces of A/C Re-New might leak out.
Will adding A/C Re-New void my entire A/C warranty?
No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act indicates that manufacturers can not simply void your warranty just because A/C Re-New was introduced into the system. More importantly.
Where does the sludge/build-up go?
Any oil build-up that results from years of service is normally returned to its original state by the product. Any remaining build-up is collected by the internal filtration system and remixes with the system's oil.
What is SEER?
It is an acronym that stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. It is rating that determines how energy efficiency of your system.
If I drain the oil, do I have to replace the A/C Re-New?
Generally, no. However, if you completely drain the oil, some A/C Re-New will be removed from the system. As a result, it is recommended to re-install A/C Re-New.
If I have a leak do I need to reinstall A/C Re-New?
Generally, no.

Installation Process
How much is used?
Most residential systems are between 2 and 5 tons, and one can will treat a system up to 5 tons. For example, if you have two air conditioning units, you will need 2 cans of product. For larger systems you will need, one can per 5 tons. For example, if you a single 7-ton unit, you will need 2 cans of product. For larger commercial systems, please call Nu-Calgon at
How long will it take to install?
It will vary by contractor, but typically 30 minutes.

Benefits
What type of electricity savings should I expect?
Electricity savings is highly dependent on the current state of your air conditioning system. Newer systems typically experience fewer immediate savings than older systems due to the fact that they are in better condition. Overall, we have experienced anywhere from 0% (brand new system) to 18% (older system) savings.
If the electricity savings are more prevalent in older systems, if I have a newer system do I need the product?
Yes. Remember, a key, proven benefit is that A/C Re-New reduces wear, in addition to refrigerant and metal decomposition. This means that your air conditioning system will last longer, incur fewer maintenance issues, and operate closer to new condition than if you did not have the product.
What type of results should I expect?
Again, the results are highly dependent on the current state of your air conditioning system. In most cases, our customers have experienced an immediate electricity, temperature, and noise reduction. We have yet to see a case where the product did not reduce at least one of the three electricity, temperature or noise.
Is there any type of guarantee?
Yes, Nu-Calgon provides a Satisfaction Guarantee. In addition, Nu-Calgon provides a limited supplemental warranty discussed in the Benefits section of this site.
