Big changes are coming to the HVAC industry in 2025, and James River Air is here to help you understand what this means for your home comfort system. Starting January 1, 2025, all new air conditioners and heat pumps will use environmentally friendly refrigerants that align with EPA initiatives. Let’s break it down:
What's Changing & Why?
The Transition
HVAC manufacturers are switching to lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants known as A2L refrigerants.
EPA Initiative
These changes are part of the EPA’s effort to reduce environmental impact and promote energy efficiency.
What Are A2L Refrigerants?
What This Means For Homeowners
Existing Systems
If your current system uses R22 or 410A, it will remain functional, and we’re here to service it.
New Systems
All systems manufactured after January 1, 2025, will use A2L refrigerants, providing energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
