At Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we prioritize keeping our customers informed about upcoming changes in the HVAC industry that will affect the cost of cooling equipment. One significant shift on the horizon involves refrigerants which are essential for cooling in central air conditioners, mini splits, and heat pumps. Specifically, the commonly used R-410A refrigerant is being phased out due to new regulations, a change expected to increase costs across the industry for refrigerant-based systems.
Homeowners who have an AC system that will need to be replaced in the next year or two have an important decision to make: to upgrade now before the new regulations take effect or wait. Let’s go over the details of the new changes and the pros and cons of upgrading your system now or waiting on HVAC installation in Jacksonville.
