Understanding the 2025 EPA Refrigerant Changes: What Homeowners Need to Know

As of January 1st, 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is rolling out new regulations concerning the phasing out of refrigerants that will directly affect HVAC systems in homes across the country. These changes are part of a larger effort to reduce the environmental impact of greenhouse gases and help mitigate climate change. For homeowners, these new regulations can seem daunting, but Hi-Tech Plumbing & Leak Detect is here to break down what this means and how it will affect your home’s comfort systems.

2025 EPA Refrigerant Changes for Homeowners - Hi-Tech Plumbing & Leak Detect

What Refrigerants Are Being Phased Out?

One of the most notable refrigerants being phased out is R-410A, which is widely used in residential air conditioning systems. R-410A has a significantly high Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it a prime target for replacement under the EPA’s new guidelines.
In its place, newer, lower-GWP refrigerants such as R-32 and R-454B will be introduced. These refrigerants have been designed to offer the same cooling efficiency as R-410A but with a much smaller environmental footprint. The shift to these refrigerants will help reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future.

How This Affects Homeowners

For homeowners, the phase-out of R-410A means that older air conditioning systems may become more expensive to service and repair as refrigerant supplies decrease and costs rise. If your current system uses R-410A, you won’t need to immediately replace it, but you should be prepared for potential future challenges in terms of maintenance and refrigerant availability.

At Hi-Tech Plumbing & Leak Detect, we recommend planning ahead. Here’s how:

  • Evaluate the Age of Your System: If your HVAC system is approaching 10-15 years old, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Newer systems are designed to work with the next generation of refrigerants and are generally more energy-efficient, leading to lower utility bills.
  • Consider Preventive Maintenance: Regular maintenance can extend the life of your current system and ensure it’s running as efficiently as possible. Our technicians can perform inspections, top off refrigerant levels, and recommend the best course of action for your system as the refrigerant changes take effect.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I Highly Recommend This Company!

I know about this company because my neighbors needed plumbing repair but of course the problem was located in my backyard. Blaine and Joe were fabulous! They did their very best to put my yard back as it was and to make sure my fence was secured so my dogs wouldn’t escape. And they were really kind and understanding of the situation. I highly recommend this company!

Professional and Friendly

I have had Hi-Tech repair two hot water slab leaks in my home this year. Both times they were prompt in scheduling the initial inspection and the actual repair, clear on the costs of the project, and what all work would be done. And on top of that, everyone has been very professional and friendly. I would 100% recommend them for any plumbing project you may have!
