Low-GWP Refrigerants and New EPA regulations coming in 2025



The Environmental Protection Agency EPA has implemented new regulations on low-GWP global warming potential refrigerants, affecting the HVAC industry. The new rules require contractors to use refrigerants with a lower GWP in certain applications, and phase out the use of high-GWP refrigerants. This shift towards environmentally-friendly refrigerants can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment. However, it also means that contractors will need to invest in new tools and equipment to handle the new refrigerants, and may experience higher costs as a result. New training and certification requirements might be needed to handle the new refrigerant. At the same time, the new regulations provide an opportunity for contractors to differentiate themselves by offering eco-friendly solutions to their clients. Stay ahead of the curve by staying informed and adapting to the new regulations.
