New York grocers are calling on the state to pause its HFC standard, noting that the proposed regulations would have devastating impacts on the retail food industry.
The HVAC industry is facing changes as of January 1, 2025, which is when the manufacture of R-410A equipment ends and California implements its ban on high-GWP refrigerants.
EPA is proposing a rule that would allow the installation of high-GWP VRF systems until January 1, 2027, provided the components were manufactured by January 1, 2026.
Read this whitepaper to learn more about the push for the A2L technology and further enhancements in HVAC system designs considering the ongoing focus on safety, environmental impact, and energy efficiency worldwide.
In recent years, the cost of HVAC equipment has increased significantly, and regulatory changes, such as the phase-down of R-410A, will make the new A2L units even more expensive.
While the refrigerant transition is expected to be relatively smooth due to the alternatives’ similarities to R-410A, dealers should still be aware of its impact on serviceability, product mix, and the HVAC industry overall.
The new residential line of Lennox heat pumps and a/c units will use R-454B refrigerant. The full line of commercial rooftop units and ducted split systems, including the Model L and Enlight families, will also use R-454B.
