New York State has finalized its HFC regulations, which includes banning the sale of bulk high-GWP refrigerants. This could result in the inability to service commercial refrigeration equipment.
The AIM Act requires food retailers to not only navigate a complex array of compliance deadlines, but to adopt new refrigeration technologies that use low-GWP refrigerants.
The New Year is bringing significant changes to the HVACR industry. Manufacturers can no longer produce new R-410A systems, and states are enacting stricter HFC laws. Staying informed is key.
EPA’s Technology Transitions program goes into effect January 1, 2025, and will restrict the use of high-GWP HFC refrigerants in air conditioning and heat pump products and equipment.
Annual HFC inventory reports are required to be audited by a CPA to ensure compliance, and regulated entities should understand what to anticipate for the 2024 compliance period.
