2025 Refrigerant Changes
What to expect in 2025 with your HVAC system
The Long-Term Transition: Progressing Toward GWP The EPA has initiated a timeline aimed at reducing GWP refrigerants in the HVAC industry from 2022 to 2036. transition will occur through a phasedown of high GWP R-410A refrigerant and the introduction of low-GWP alternatives, ultimately shifting towards natural refrigerants propane that have minimal environmental impact. phasedown of R-410A commenced in 2022, with a 40% reduction expected by 2025, which also see a ban on new equipment using R-410A, necessitating the use of low-GWP refrigerants with a GWP of 700 or.
Most mgf. have selected R-454B as its refrigerant for 2025. 2025, further reductions of R-410A will take place, including a 70% decrease by 9, and additional GWP requirements for refrigerants in 2034 will likely lead to a shift towards natural refriger like propane. Today’s Transition: Adopting Low-GWP RefrigerantsIn alignment with our commitment to making environmentally responsible, we have updated our product offerings to utilize-454B, our 2025 compliant refrigerant With a GWP that is 78% lower than previous options, it adheres to the latest EPA regulations while ensuring reliable performance for years. Benefits of 2025 Compliant Refrigerant **Zero Ozone Impact:** Unlike HFC refrigerants, low-GWP options are non-oz depleting and have a reduced global warming potential. - **Chemical Composition:** Low-GWP refrigerants consist of elements like hydrogen,, and fluorine, generating minimal greenhouse gas effects, unlike high GWP refrigerants that often contain chlorine. - **Short Lifetime:** Refrigerants with shorter atmospheric lifetimes have lower GWP levels, resulting in less impact on global warmingFor more details on the transition to low-GWP alternatives, visit the EPA's website.
What Does the R-454B Transition Mean for You? If your system currently uses R-410A R-22 refrigerant, there's no immediate need for concern. The phasedown extends to 2036, providing homeowners ample time to upgrade to R-454B systems at their convenience. Given that most systems last 10-15 years, many homeowners will naturally transition within this timeline. Each homeowner’s situation will vary, so it is advisable to consult a local dealer or technician to determine the best replacement options. Throughout this phasedown, our dealers and technicians will receive ongoing training to ensure they are equipped to provide you with the best support and guidance as the transition progresses.
