Important A/C Changes and How They Impact You as a MA Homeowner
Recently, the US Environment Protection Agency has developed new regulations on air conditioning refrigerants. This transition was set forth to work towards the global agreement of reducing greenhouse gases.
The newest change is aimed at phasing out a commonly used refrigerant you might be using in your South Shore home: R-410A. How will this impact you as a Massachusetts homeowner? No need to worry. The experts at Reggie’s Oil have your back. Keep reading this blog to learn everything you need to know about the 2025 A/C changes.
What Is A/C Refrigerant?
Refrigerant is the backbone of your air conditioning system. It is a substance that works within an air conditioner to cool your space by absorbing heat. Without refrigerant, air conditioning, refrigeration, and freezing technology would be impossible, and we would still be delivering ice to keep your home cool!
What Are the New Regulations?
The new refrigerant regulations are intended to reduce the impact air conditioners have on global warming and ozone depletion. As part of these regulations, the refrigerant R-410A will stop being produced, and prices will likely increase. Luckily, two eco-friendly refrigerants are taking their place: R-454B and R-32. Reggie’s Oil is pleased to be part of the solution by installing new units that meet current standards, helping to reduce ozone depletion.

Along with using modern, clean refrigerants called R-454B and R-32, newer air conditioning models are more energy efficient. Check out some benefits of upgrading your air conditioning system this year:
