Items Tagged with 'Refrigerant Shortage'

New York’s refrigerant rules may cause supply shortages, raising costs for consumers and businesses, as industry groups push for regulatory alignment with federal standards to avoid disruptions. 

The shift to A2L refrigerants may seem daunting, but with proper tools, training, and safety know-how, contractors can handle the change with confidence.  

Another refrigerant transition is inevitable, as innovation drives HVAC forward. But without clearer communication and coordination next time, contractors’ patience — and trust — may finally run out. 

The refrigerant shortage is over. Its aftershocks are still rippling through the industry. 

EPA’s Lee Zeldin has criticized the Technology Transitions rule, drawing concern from HVACR groups over compliance deadlines and added uncertainty.

A supply shortage led one tech to charge an R-454B unit with R-410A. The result: no cooling, high pressures, and an expensive mistake in the making.

Customers can place orders with no minimum quantity, no maximum quantity (orders exceeding 5,000 units may require additional lead time), and no requirement to have orders bundled with other refrigerants.
