Cold and Hard Facts Refrigerants Q & A- May 4, 2023
Q:
What compelling evidence shows that technicians can install and maintain systems using A2L refrigerants?
Plumbers and HVACR technicians install millions of systems using propane and natural gas every year. Boilers, water heaters, gas stoves, dryers and generators have been installed in millions of homes around the country. These skilled tradesmen have proven that they are highly capable at installing and maintaining systems using highly flammable fluids for many years.
Also, it should be noted that training and licensing have already been implemented
internationally. In Australia, the transition to A2Ls occurred quickly due to the carbon tax. Overhalf of the air conditioning equipment has transitioned to A2Ls in Australia within six years,with no reported safety incidents.
