Understanding the R410A Phase Out: New Refrigerants Explained

R-410A is going away! No R-410A? No problem. Stay compliant and stay ahead with our guide on new refrigerants. First and foremost: why is this happening? Believe it or not, the main purpose of the changeover isn’t to make life more difficult for technicians. R-410A, sometimes known as Puron, has a very high GWP, or Global Warming Potential. It carries a GWP of around 2,088. For reference, notorious climate villain Carbon Dioxide comes in with a whopping GWP of one. Being over two thousand times worse than CO2 means despite the catchy name, Puron is actually little less than pure. If you’re concerned about how the refrigerant change may impact you and your existing customers, don’t worry: you won’t have to quit R-410A cold turkey. The production-stop-date for R-410A products and equipment is December 31, 2024 – but that only covers physically manufacturing new equipment. New R-410A systems can be installed by technicians until the end of 2025 and individual R-410A products remain in-play through 2027. The bottom line is: it's more of a gradual phase-out than an abrupt halt. That said, you can probably anticipate product shortages as the deadline gets closer and people hoard stock up on what they can while it’s still available. SupplyHouse.com will continue to carry R-410A units, parts, and refrigerants for as long as we can get inventory through the respective phase-out dates. We’ll also begin stocking new units, parts, and refrigerants compliant with the new A2L guidelines: What does A2L Mean? The letters don’t line up very well, but essentially, A2L compliance means chemicals that aren’t highly flammable or toxic and have a low burning velocity. At least they got the “L” right. Now it's time to meet the new refrigerants on the block. Going forward, two of the most commonly used refrigerants will be R-32 and R-454B. Both refrigerants are more efficient than R-410A, offer better heat transfer properties, and have GWPs of under seven hundred. Importantly, both refrigerants have zero ozone depletion potential, making them more likely to be long-term solutions. Historically speaking, refrigerant changes, while inconvenient, are actually major wins for trade professionals. New refrigerants mean: More efficient equipment and fewer service trips Better cooling capacities Overall happier customers Stock up on R-410A parts and units while supplies last, and stay ahead of the game with R-32 and R-454B parts and units at SupplyHouse.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shop for HVAC Supplies here: https://www.supplyhouse.com/HVAC-Supp...
