Refrigerant Requirement EPA
Beginning January 1, 2010 the EPA requires R-410A (also known by the brand names Puron, SUVA and GENTRON AZ-20) refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pump systems. This means that all new air conditioning and heat pump equipment produced in or imported to the U.S. must use R-410A or another non-ozone depleting refrigerant.
Why is this happening?
The release of HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) into the atmosphere has depleted the Earth’s protective ozone layer, and created an ozone hole. This will help restrict the release of this manmade chemical and others that deplete this layer and help it to recover. This is a worldwide initiative.
Here is a post that will help property managers and landlords make informed decisions when purchasing, servicing, or disposing of air-conditioners or other equipment.
