You know the insurance companies are so happy. As soonest the home owner installs an A2L system that payment is gonna go up. No body is talking about this but you know that there is one house out of the one million we are going to install that is going to catch on fire and that one house is going to make the home insurance rates go up for everybody. You know who is going to cause that fire? The unlicense contractor that is allowed to go into the supply house and buy equipment because they bring a little business to that branch.
"How long has R32 been around? Daikin was the first to introduce air-conditioning and heat pump technology utilizing the refrigerant R-32, starting in Japan in November 2012." what has the industry been using for A2L compliant tools for the last 12 years???
I already have my A2L license, but it sounds like nothing is written in stone yet. They will wait until someone gets hurt or something burns down before they will start adding to the do's and don'ts. Anyway, for those that does not know, an A2L license also includes A3 refrigerants, High flammability Refrigerants, 600, 600A and R290 (butane, Isobutane and Propane )
Been used in other countries for years.. what controls have the manufactures been using? Guess i dont get the statment manufactures need to figure this out as they go
So ah everyone goes and buys new tools to accomodate the A2L. How long before the EPA comes and moves the goal post again? One BIG $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$making racket!
Pretty soon people won't be able to afford AC, we will have to go back to the bucket of ice and a fan... California "the shithole state" and our Gov have totally screwed up, something so simple... can you tell I am a R22 fan.... o-ya, I did this kind of work for over 30 years, a lot of commercial stuff, Train big chillers.... when people would ask me what I did for work I would tell them, "I make ice water".... lol

All of that came in my universal

Just another change in our industry, not a big deal. As a tech that started out in very large ammonia systems this is a walk in the park.
I'm glad i'm retired.
