Technicians must be trained to handle A2L refrigerants safely, using proper equipment, following safety guidelines, and understanding risks to prevent injuries.

In the sixth installment of this series, we ask if A2L refrigerants are as flammable as propane or hydrocarbons.

Since A2L refrigerants are designated as mildly flammable, safety features like refrigerant detection systems (RDSs) are being incorporated into new residential/light commercial ducted split systems that contain more than 4 pounds of A2L refrigerant. Here’s what HVAC technicians need to know about installing those RDS in the field.

How do we motivate HVAC contractors to do more refrigerant recovery? The ACHR NEWS posed the question to three industry experts on the front lines of the refrigerant transition. Here’s what they had to say about what that will take — and what we’re all going to be in for if we don’t.

Although CO₂ systems may seem a bit more complicated than HFC DX systems, they are actually quite similar, with the main difference being CO2’s higher pressure.

This article provides a detailed overview of new environmental standards for refrigerants, the implications for light commercial HVAC equipment, and how Lennox Commercial is poised to assist in this transition.

CRCM certification equips professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of refrigerant compliance, making it an invaluable credential for those involved in both environmental and operational aspects of refrigerant management.

Daikin answers top questions from HVAC contractors and technicians about transitioning from high-GWP HFCs like R-410A to mildly flammable, low-GWP, A2L refrigerants, such as R-32

In the fourth installment of this series, the topic of transporting A2L refrigerants is covered.
