When it comes to navigating the field of HVAC refrigerants, it can feel challenging to keep up. Every month it seems like another change is coming to the industry.
At Roland Black Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Generators, we aim to keep our customers updated and informed about everything related to their HVAC and home comfort systems. You may be curious about the different refrigerants used in modern AC systems and heat pumps. We can help you understand how these changes impact you and why you might need to consider replacing your outdated HVAC system sooner rather than later.
What are the Differences Between R-410A Refrigerant & A2L Refrigerant?
The differences between R-410A and A2L refrigerants can be understood by their impact on the environment and how they may impact your finances in the coming months.
R-410A refrigerant, commonly used in air conditioners and heat pumps, is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant that replaced R-22 refrigerant in HVAC systems. R-410A refrigerant has a high Global Warming Potential (GWP). On the other hand, A2L refrigerants, like R-454B and R-32, are designed to be more environmentally friendly and have a lower GWP, reducing carbon footprints and environmental impact. A2L refrigerants are mildly flammable refrigerants, meaning they have a lower flammability risk compared to other refrigerants and lower toxicity.
Buckle up for changes in equipment that use R-410A refrigerant! In 2025, new refrigerant mandates will phase out R-410A refrigerants in HVAC systems in favor of more eco-friendly options like R-454B and R-32. This is part of an effort to reduce the GWP of refrigerant in HVAC systems.
