2025 HVAC Refrigerant Shift: Valley City Mechanical Breaks Down What You Need to Know

New refrigerant laws take effect in 2025. Valley City Mechanical breaks down compliance for homeowners. BYRON CENTER, MI, UNITED STATES, April 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Valley City Mechanical is offering guidance to West Michigan residents and businesses about upcoming federally mandated refrigerant regulation changes. As part of the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act implementation, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will require all new HVAC systems to transition from R-410A refrigerant to A2L alternatives starting January 1, 2025. These updates mark a significant step toward reducing environmental impact while introducing practical challenges for residential and commercial cooling systems.

What Homeowners Should Know
Under the EPA's Technology Transitions Rule, HVAC systems will need to use a new type of refrigerant that is better for the environment starting this year. The current refrigerant, R-410A, is being phased out because it contributes too much to climate change. The government is requiring a switch to A2L refrigerants, which are more eco-friendly but require updated installation and safety measures because they can be mildly flammable.

Valley City Mechanical is committed to making sure homeowners understand these changes and their implications. By using Rheem’s 2024 U.S. Regulatory Guide for HVAC, the company’s technicians are equipped with the latest knowledge and expertise to navigate the transition seamlessly.

Key Considerations for Michigan Homeowners
The refrigerant transition impacts equipment servicing, installation procedures, and compliance with local building codes. Valley City Mechanical recommends that property owners take proactive steps to prepare for these updates:

Schedule system evaluations for older R-410A units
Review warranty implications for existing equipment
Consult certified technicians for new installations
