Big changes are coming to the AC world! Starting January 1, 2025, the EPA is phasing out R-410A refrigerant in all new equipment. With this shift, prices for new R-454B and R-32 systems are expected to increase by as much as 15%.
But here’s some good news—Temp Air has a limited stock of R-410A Merit Line single component changeouts available at today’s prices! After December 31, 2024, full R-410A systems will no longer be manufactured. Now’s the time to act if you want to avoid the price hikes and upcoming changes.
Key Warning Signs You Need a Comfort System Replacement:
- Frequent Breakdowns: If you’re constantly calling for repairs, your system may be on its last leg. Regular breakdowns are a key indicator that your comfort system is reaching the end of its lifespan, and continuing to fix it can cost more in the long run.
- Inconsistent Temperatures: Are certain rooms in your home too hot or too cold? Uneven heating or cooling is often a sign that your system is struggling to keep up and may not be functioning efficiently anymore.
- Rising Energy Bills: If you’ve noticed your energy bills steadily climbing, it could be due to an aging system. Older units lose efficiency over time, causing them to work harder and use more energy to maintain comfort in your home.
- System Age: Most systems last between 10-15 years. If your system is approaching this age, it may be time to consider a replacement, especially with the upcoming changes to refrigerant regulations.
With the upcoming refrigerant changes in 2025, it’s important to note that new systems will use R-454B and R-32 refrigerants. These refrigerants, while more eco-friendly, are flammable. If your system is nearing 10-15 years old, upgrading now will not only help you avoid costly repairs but also prepare you for this change. Waiting too long may increase the risk of dealing with refrigerants that require extra safety measures and parts that could become scarce.
Upgrading to a new comfort system now can help avoid costly repairs and ensure your home stays efficient and comfortable for years to come. At Temp Air, we’re committed to keeping your home comfortable without breaking the bank. With homeowners facing skyrocketing insurance rates and rising costs, now is the time to upgrade.
