2025 Refrigerant Regulations: What You Need to Know

Understand the changes in HVAC refrigerant standards and how Parker's Heating & Air is ready to help you transition smoothly.

What does the 2025 refrigerant regulation entail?

Starting in 2025, high-GWP refrigerants like R-410A will be restricted under new EPA rules to lower environmental impact.

Why is R-410A being phased out?

R-410A is being phased out due to its high global warming potential, contributing significantly to climate change.

What new refrigerants will be used in HVAC systems?

New systems will use lower GWP refrigerants like R-32 and R-454B, which have less environmental impact.

Do I need to replace my existing HVAC system?

Not immediately. Existing systems are perfectly fine to use, but any future replacements or new installations must comply with new standards.

How will these changes affect the cost and efficiency of my HVAC system?

The new low-GWP refrigerants may initially increase system costs due to necessary equipment adjustments. However, they are designed to enhance energy efficiency over time, ultimately supporting cost savings and environmental benefits.

What should I do if my system uses R-410A?

There’s no trouble using your existing system, but it may be wise to consider future upgrades as R-410A becomes less available due to phasedown regulations.

Are there incentives for upgrading to compliant HVAC systems?

Depending on your location, upgrading to environmentally friendly HVAC systems can bring multiple financial benefits. These include federal tax credits, state and local rebates, and manufacturer rebates, all designed to offset the initial costs. New systems lower your utility bills due to improved energy efficiency and offer enhanced performance and longevity.

What is the life expectancy of my HVAC system?

How often you run your system, the system’s age, its make and model, and whether or not it was serviced regularly over the course of its life can all play a significant role in how long your system will last you.d/or air conditioner to last approximately 15 years.
