If you’re considering a new HVAC system, you might be wondering whether to buy now or wait until summer hits and my unit breaks down. The simple answer is waiting could cost you thousands more! With major industry changes coming on all HVAC systems manufactured in 2025, Costs will become significantly more expensive. Here’s why acting now is the smartest financial move.
- The 2025 Refrigerant Mandate Increases Costs
Starting January 1, 2025, newly manufactured air conditioning and heating systems must use A2L refrigerants instead of R-410A. While these newer refrigerants are designed to be more environmentally friendly, they also come with higher equipment costs, added safety requirements, and increased installation expenses.
✅ 2024 HVAC Systems Use R-410A: Affordable, widely available, and proven reliable.
❌ 2025 HVAC Systems Require A2L Refrigerants: More expensive, require updated equipment, and increase labor costs.
- New Safety & Installation Requirements Drive Up Prices
A2L refrigerants, such as R-32 and R-454B, are classified as mildly flammable, meaning HVAC manufacturers and contractors must comply with new safety regulations. This results in:
- More expensive components (to handle A2L refrigerants safely).
- Stricter installation codes (leading to higher labor costs).
- Technician retraining & certification requirements (increasing service rates).
- Limited Availability & Rising Demand Will Spike Prices
With R-410A systems being phased out, demand for remaining 2024 models are surging. As inventory shrinks, prices will go up. By 2025, you may be forced to pay 35-40% more for a new system using A2L refrigerants.
💡 The Smart Move? Buy Now & Lock in Savings!
- R-410A Systems Are Still a Safe, Cost-Effective Choice
Despite the upcoming transition, R-410A systems are not being banned—they will continue to function and be serviced for years. Plus, R-410A will still be available until 2040. If you install a new R-410A system in 2024, you can enjoy:
