The entire HVAC industry is undergoing a massive shift in the materials and chemicals used in our everyday installations, repairs, and tune-ups. One of the biggest changes happening right now is the introduction of two refrigerants that aim to help reach different greenhouse gas emission goals across multiple states. This is what that all means for your wallet.
Why are refrigerant changes important for heating and cooling repair?
- New refrigerants like R‑454B and R‑32 are replacing older types and require compatible equipment.
- Systems designed for older refrigerants may become more expensive to maintain or replace.
- These changes impact not only cooling repair but also the overall efficiency of heating and cooling repair systems.
- Upgrading proactively can avoid unexpected costs and improve system performance.
- For homeowners, planning ahead ensures smoother transitions when service or repair is needed.
