A significant shift in HVAC refrigerant standards is on the horizon, impacting homeowners everywhere. This change involves the phase-out of older refrigerants in favor of newer, eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the reasons behind this switch and its effects on your air conditioning system is crucial as these new standards roll out.
The new refrigerants are designed to have a lesser impact on the ozone layer and reduce the global warming potential, aligning with international environmental goals.
New laws and regulations require the use of these less harmful substances to promote a healthier environment.
Air conditioning systems operating with the new refrigerant are expected to use less energy, which can lead to lower electricity bills.
These new formulas are typically less corrosive, which helps extend the lifespan of HVAC components, potentially saving you money on long-term maintenance and replacements.
The introduction of new refrigerants means several changes for homeowners:
Not all older AC systems can accommodate the new refrigerants; some may require complete replacement.
While the initial costs for new refrigerants may be higher, the long-term savings from reduced energy consumption and fewer repairs can offset these expenses.
