Why You Should Upgrade Your Air Conditioner Before Year End - The A2L Refrigerant Change Explained

November 12, 2024

As we wind down the year and usher in the chilly winter months, making alterations to your home for increased comfort might be on your to-do list. If you're considering modifications, an often-overlooked yet essential upgrade is your air conditioning system. At Meridian Air Conditioning & Heating LLC, we're committed to ensuring your home's HVAC system is up to par, delivering optimal energy efficiency and comfort. This blog aims to shed light on an imminent industry change – the A2L refrigerant transition, and why upgrading your air conditioner before year-end could save you significant bucks. Let's delve in.


Understanding The A2L Refrigerant Change

To begin with, let's explain the A2L refrigerant change. After years of research and development, the HVAC industry is transitioning towards a new type of refrigerant, A2L. Known for its lower global warming potential (GWP), A2L refrigerants are slightly flammable and designed to be more eco-friendly. This shift follows the environmental guidelines set by authorities and promotes better sustainability in HVAC operations.


Price Implications of The A2L Refrigerant Change

Although the change to A2L refrigerants brings environmental benefits, it also comes with a cost implication. Starting from the new year, the transition to A2L refrigerants is expected to increase air conditioning costs by about 20-25%. This price rise is mainly due to the new manufacturing standards and safety protocols that these slightly flammable refrigerants require.


Why Upgrade Your Air Conditioner Before Year End?

Upgrading your air conditioner before the year ends helps you avoid the cost increase associated with the A2L refrigerant change. By replacing your old unit with a new one that uses current refrigerant types, you can save significant money while still enjoying the efficiency and performance of a new system.


Furthermore, an upgraded air conditioner provides better energy efficiency, which can considerably reduce your power bills. Plus, new HVAC systems generally offer improved indoor air quality, essential for maintaining good health and comfort in your home.
