FAQs:

1. Does Performax LT require system redesign?
   Typically no—just oil change and proper charging method are needed.

2. How does glide affect system performance?
   The temperature glide range must be accounted for in tuning equipment.

3. Is it a better retrofit than R‑407C?
   Offers better discharge temperature and capacity for R‑22 retrofits.
