🌿 Big Changes Are Coming: The R-410A Phase-Out Starts January 1, 2025

At Quality Comfort Air Conditioning and Heating Inc., we’re here to help Brevard County homeowners stay informed and prepared for major industry updates, starting with the phase-out of R-410A refrigerant in all new air conditioning systems.

⚠️ Why Is R-410A Being Phased Out?

R-410A, commonly known as the cooling fluid in your AC, replaced R-22 because it was less harmful to the ozone layer. However, it still has a very high Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 2,088, making it a contributor to climate change if released into the atmosphere.

The EPA is now requiring manufacturers to stop producing new systems using R-410A and move toward more climate-friendly alternatives.

♻️ Meet the New Refrigerants: R-454B and R-32

These new refrigerants are more eco-friendly and energy-efficient, making them the go-to for future AC systems:

✅ R-454B

• GWP of 466 – nearly 80% lower than R-410A
• Excellent cooling performance
• Becoming the most widely adopted replacement

✅ R-32

• GWP of 675 – still a major improvement
• Highly energy-efficient
• Used in over 160 million systems worldwide
• Mildly flammable—requires expert installation

---

🌎 How Long Have These Refrigerants Been in Use?

• R-32: Over a decade in Japan, Australia, and Europe
• R-454B: Newer but already in use in North America and Europe

These refrigerants are globally proven, safe, and reliable, with major manufacturers like Daikin, Mitsubishi, and Panasonic backing them.
