2025 Government HVAC Refrigerant Mandate Explained

Close-up of an AC unit outside a beige stucco home.As of Jan. 1, 2025, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will enforce new regulations surrounding the type of refrigerant permitted in residential and commercial AC systems. It’s important for homeowners to know what these updated guidelines entail and how they will impact their AC service needs in the future.

In this blog post, the cooling experts at Whipple Service Champions explain everything you need to know about the 2025 government HVAC refrigerant mandate so you can prepare for the change to come.

What’s Changing for Air Conditioners in 2025?

The EPA is planning to gradually reduce the production of R-410A refrigerant through 2036 to help facilitate a transition to more eco-friendly refrigerant alternatives.

What Is R-410A Refrigerant?

R-410A refrigerant has been the industry standard for air conditioning systems, heat pumps, and refrigeration units for residential and commercial units for many years. A hydrofluorocarbon, you may recognize this refrigerant under a variety of different names, including AZ-20, EcoFluor R410, Forane 410A, Genetron R410A, Puron, or Suva 410A.

Because of its widespread use in ACs, there’s a good chance that your AC relies on this outdated refrigerant type to keep your home or business cool. With the planned phase-out, a 70% reduction in R-410A availability can be expected as soon as next year, resulting in significant changes when it comes to your immediate air conditioning service needs.

How Will These Changes Impact Your AC Service?

With the planned reduction in R-410A availability, finding this type of refrigerant to service your air conditioner will become increasingly difficult and more expensive.

As R-410A becomes scarcer, its price will increase, which will in turn raise the price of refrigerant refills and related services. The introduction of more eco-friendly refrigerant options will also increase the cost of new AC equipment and services.

In addition to rising prices for air conditioning systems and services, the supply chain will likely experience strain and shortages. It’s important to prepare for these changes by booking your air conditioner replacement sooner to avoid product shortages and paying a higher price for your AC upgrade.

Why Upgrade Your Air Conditioner Now?

By booking your air conditioner replacement now, you can take advantage of many benefits, including:

  • Low prices: Scheduling an AC replacement before 2025 can help you save money by taking advantage of current pricing.
  • Energy efficiency: Newer ACs are more energy-efficient, providing you with ongoing savings on utility bills over time.
  • Improved comfort: By switching to a new air conditioner, you can achieve greater, more consistent comfort indoors.
