    Why Florida Homes Are Being Upgraded

    R-410A is being phased out as a refrigerant according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act. On January 1, 2025, all new HVAC systems must comply with a 750 Global Warming Potential (GWP) limit. R-410A will no longer be used in new equipment.

    Florida requires the use of newer refrigerants such as R32, phasing-out models like R410A and R22. These changes are driven by national environmental standards. Older systems may soon become costlier to repair or non-serviceable altogether.

    Benefits of Upgrading

    • Lower Utility Bills: Up to 60% energy savings
    • Compliance: Florida Building Code & EPA refrigerant mandates
    • Improved Comfort: Quieter, stronger airflow with humidity control

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Understanding Indoor Environmental Compliance

    common questions related to indoor air quality, system compliance, environmental hazards, and current federal mandates. All responses are aligned with publicly available guidance and best practices from agencies like the EPA and CDC.
    Ask Questions
    What is the AIM Act and how does it affect my HVAC system?
    The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act mandates a phasedown of high-global-warming-potential refrigerants. As of 2025, new HVAC systems must use low-GWP refrigerants such as R-32 or R-454B. Systems using phased-out refrigerants (e.g., R-410A) will no longer meet federal compliance standards.
    How can I tell if my indoor air quality is unsafe?
    Poor indoor air quality may present as persistent odors, visible dust buildup, condensation, or worsening respiratory symptoms. However, many pollutants are invisible and odorless. A professional assessment using particulate, VOC, and humidity monitoring is the most accurate method of evaluation.
    Are radon tests required, and how often should they be performed?
    While not federally mandated, radon testing is strongly recommended by the EPA, especially in high-risk zones. Homes should be tested during real estate transactions and every 2–5 years thereafter, or following any structural changes to the building’s foundation.
    What’s the difference between a compliant and non-compliant HVAC system?
    Compliant systems use refrigerants approved under the AIM Act and are properly labeled, sealed, and installed according to federal guidelines. Non-compliant systems often use outdated refrigerants, lack necessary documentation, or pose operational and safety risks.
    Is mold always a health hazard, and when should it be professionally remediated?
    Any visible mold growth indoors should be treated as a potential health concern. While not all mold species are toxic, prolonged exposure—especially in sensitive individuals—can lead to respiratory issues. Remediation is recommended for areas over 10 square feet or where structural moisture is present.
