Daikin ATMOSPHERA gives North Carolina a powerful, new single zone system that uses a lower GWP refrigerant and is more efficient than comparable R-410 models.

The HFC phasedown started this year with a 10% production cut, which is starting to affect the price of refrigerants such as R-410A.

Daikin is launching a residential product featuring R-32.

Beginning this year, the production of HFC refrigerants will be reduced by 10%, while a steeper cut comes in 2024, when production must be reduced to 60% of the baseline established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
