Change is coming to the HVACR industry as state and federal regulations are being enacted that will lead to a phase down of high-GWP refrigerants such as R-410A.

Industry figures are estimates that are derived from the best available figures supplied by a sample of AHRI member companies.

Most outdoor units will have survived another winter intact, but nearly all will need some routine (or added) TLC to get into game shape.

Manufacturers have created a number of low-GWP solutions that are designed to have similar (or better) efficiencies and capacities than the refrigerants they are intended to replace.

Finding a replacement for R-410A has been challenging, but several alternatives have emerged as top contenders.

HVAC contractors stepped up to deal with a deep freeze that left millions of people without power to heat their homes.

It is much easier to prevent containments from entering a system then to deal with removing them or the system failure they will cause.

Little by little, a compressor’s lubricating oil will eventually escape the compressor’s crankcase and enter the system’s tubing.
