Haha! Luckily these are just our Brevard community members. These folks were concerned with what they need to know and what they need to do to prepare for the change. You do have a point though. I wish we had more young folks at this seminar to soak up as much information as possible.

More than likely, if you're looking to purchase before the end of the year, you'll be considering an R410A ('Freon') unit. Opting for an R410A system could save you money in the long run, as it’s a proven, reliable option with established technology. Plus, you won’t have to worry about potential hiccups that may arise with the newer R454B equipment, which is still in its early stages of use. However, if you'd prefer to stay ahead of the refrigerant mandate and prioritize environmental initiatives, R454B units are a great choice. Just keep in mind that they may come with slightly higher upfront and maintenance costs as the technology and industry adjust to this change. Ultimately, the best option depends on your unique home and situation. I would be more inclined to purchase an R410A unit personally due to the fact it will probably end up saving you money over the next few years. We recommend speaking with local HVAC professionals to discuss what brands and models suit your needs best. Trusted brands like Trane, Goodman, York, and Armstrong Air are solid choices no matter which refrigerant you decide on.
I have heard mixed reviews about the last change in refrigerant. Generally you don't want to hear anything bad but it seems like there will be some inevitable kinks. Some people have made the analogy of brand new car series which sometimes have mass issues that need to be fixed at the dealership. This chat exchange might shed some light on your question: hvac-talk.com/vbb/threads/2272707-R-410-to-R-454b-transition-(problems-)
Luckily a lot of the new technology is very similar to the tech that handles the old refrigerant. There maybe a learning curve but we are sure they can handle potential initial kinks quicky.

@@blueridgeheatingair24 Propane heat pumps are about 100 years old .. how much time to regulators need? They hold about a tea pot of propane.. my bbq has 20. In an air to water system no propane enters the house. It is sealed. This smacks of either incompetence or corruption.
@@solarguy4850 I have heard your last sentence many times! Many folks have been saying it is a money making scheme when it comes to all of these changes and mandates!
Awesome!

Will you be able to install the flammable refrigerant ontop of a 80 percent furnaces
Yes sir!
I need a new 3 ton should I get one before the end of the year. What brand and what freon?

Were there issues with the transition to #R410A years ago?

Will technicians be ready to service all aspects of the new R454 equipment?

10 years ago 410a was the answer to r22
They called 410a Puron and now they say it’s 3 times worse for the environment than 22. Money grab they don’t care about the environment.
The consumer gets screwed again !
I don’t think all manufacturers are using 454b.
They are already planning on phasing out these new refrigerants in 8 -9 years.
Good sales meeting for your mini spit systems. I hope they’re Mitsubishis .
I really wish they would leave our trade alone for a while
Haha that would be the dream, right? I fear we will go through another change in about 10-15 years
I want R290 A/W monoblocks for cold regions. Pathetic how Europe and Asia are so far ahead of us.
It seems like they are BETA testers!

What kinda questions are these? Are these guys even in the industry?
