R-410A Status Update - NOT Going Away!

There has been a lot of confusion in the industry over the status of R-410A. The good news for contractors and equipment owners is that R-410A is not going away.

While the use of R-410A will be prohibited in the new comfort cooling chillers as of January 2023, the use of R-410A has not been restricted in any way for residential and light commercial air conditioning. In fact, because R-410A is a critical solution to the successful transition away from R-22, the installed base of R-410A equipment is growing both domestically and internaionally. It is important to remember that you will always be able to service an R-410A system with R-410A as long as it makes sense to do so.
