A2L Refrigerant Changes: What Homeowners Need to Know
The move towards new A2L refrigerants is driven by global efforts to reduce the environmental impact of HVAC systems. Traditional refrigerants, such as R22 and R410A, have been found to contribute significantly to global warming and ozone depletion. Courtesy of the EPA, new regulatory requirements mandate an eco-friendly makeover for heat pump and air conditioning equipment beginning January 1st, 2025.
How Does This Affect Me?
• Increased Costs: Homeowners may face up to a 30% increase in equipment prices as new A2L refrigerants are introduced.
• Supply Chain Issues: Manufacturer availability may be impacted, potentially leading to delays in getting new equipment.
Should I Replace My HVAC System?
• Cost-Effective Replacement: If your system is aging, repairs are likely to become more expensive. Replacing your HVAC system now can save you money in the long run.
• Act Before Price Hikes: If you want to take advantage of current prices, consider replacing your system before the 2025 changes.
What If My System Is Less Than 10 Years Old?
• Continued Operation: You can still operate your current system if it’s functioning well. Parts and services for existing systems will be available for some time, but expect prices to rise as availability decreases.
Key Takeaways
• Evaluate your HVAC system's age and efficiency.
• Consider potential cost savings by replacing older systems before the 2025 deadline.
• Stay informed about supply chain developments and pricing trends as changes approach.
