I get where you're coming from-these refrigerant changes can feel frustrating, especially when it seems like the goalposts keep moving. But there’s more to it. As technology evolves and we learn more about environmental impacts, regulations adapt to reflect that new knowledge. For example, older refrigerants like R-22 were widely used until it became clear they were contributing to ozone depletion. Now, refrigerants like R-32 and R-454B have much lower global warming potential (GWP), which is a step in the right direction. That said, you're right that these transitions can be costly for homeowners, and not every system failure means you need a brand-new unit. A good, honest HVAC contractor will always explore repair options first before recommending a full replacement. It’s all about finding someone you trust to give you the right advice, not just push for a sale.

Im so glad you asked that question cause i have been checking the local distributor inventory daily and they only have the older R-410-A systems. We have though been offering the New Goodman R-32 ac systems and all we have heard is positive reviews.

​@wholesaleacservices I like Rheem but am leaning towards Goodman because Goodman will use R32 instead of Rheem using r454b which sounds like it's more proprietary and has PFAS chemicals that will probably be banned.

@@wildmanofborneo Your 100% correct. Daikin which owns R-32 has been using it in Europe for over 10 years. Daikin is also the largest HVAC company in the USA and most of the internal parts on all ac companies are the same. They also offer the 10 year warranty on parts as long as the unit is registered. Please note that the installation is the most important part of any unit. Our company is in Miami,Florida.

Your comment raises valid concerns about the environmental impact of refrigerants like R-454B. Here's some context to help clarify the situation: R-454B and "Forever Chemicals": While it's true that R-454B has been flagged for its inclusion among HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) blends that might fall under the PFAS (“forever chemicals”) category, the designation isn't as straightforward as it seems. Many PFAS chemicals, like those used in firefighting foams, are significantly more harmful and persistent than refrigerants. R-454B was developed to comply with global mandates for reducing greenhouse gases, and it offers a substantial reduction in GWP (Global Warming Potential) compared to R-410A. R-32's Environmental Profile: R-32, on the other hand, is a single-component refrigerant with a lower GWP than R-410A or R-454B. However, it is classified as slightly flammable (A2L) and requires careful handling. Its exclusion from the EU's PFAS hit list is a point in its favor for now, but refrigerant regulations tend to evolve over time. Future-Proofing Concerns: The refrigeration industry is always in flux due to environmental policies. The EU's regulatory landscape often moves faster than that of other regions, which could mean R-454B systems face tighter restrictions in Europe. That said, predicting a wholesale phase-out in just a few years may be premature. Manufacturers are heavily invested in these new refrigerants to ensure compliance with both environmental and safety standards. Buying Advice: When selecting a system, it’s crucial to balance factors like efficiency, environmental impact, local regulations, and your specific needs. Both R-454B and R-32 are part of the industry's shift toward lower-GWP refrigerants. To truly "buy wisely," consider the reputation of the manufacturer, system performance, and maintenance requirements in addition to refrigerant type. Your concern underscores the importance of staying informed about refrigerant developments. The best approach is to consult with professionals who can offer insights tailored to your region and long-term needs.

Thank you for sharing your insight! It's interesting to hear about the differences in pricing and design between regions like Australia and the U.S. Compressor displacement and refrigerant types can indeed affect cost and efficiency. While the smaller compressor displacement might lower manufacturing costs, it's worth considering how it impacts performance and durability in various climates.

You're absolutely right! Adding vinegar to the pan is important because that's where the buildup starts before it spreads through the drain lines. Since most drain lines aren't made of copper to cut costs, they're more prone to clogging. If you have copper drain lines in a custom home, you're less likely to face buildup in the lines, but the pan can still develop buildup over time. Regular maintenance, like using vinegar, helps keep everything flowing smoothly.

Unfortunately when there is a water leak coming from the coil area and the coil is clean there is still a possibility that the pan is clogged and the proper way of cleaning it is by removing the coil and pan completely.

Would it just not be safer and easier just to use white vinegar instead of installing a gate valve and having the bleach smell in their homes?

"Hey there! 😄 Sorry if it gave off creepy vibes-that definitely wasn’t the goal! Just trying to show how chatbots can make A/C repairs easier for everyone. Appreciate you checking out the video!"

The proper way of cleaning a coil is by removing it and even removing the drain pan to remove any algae or clogs. Cleaning a coil in place may be cheaper and easier but is not the correct service to give.

@@wholesaleacservices thanks for the info. I rarely ever clean evap coils, and the first time I cleaned one was the way you described. In the future I'll be sure to clean them properly even though it's a lot of work to do it that way😅

@@5.poundz Yes..It will require to vacuum the system after your finished with the cleaning but it will avoid an unhappy customer, especially if their water leak comes back. Please note that by cutting corners it will not bring you more clients or good reviews. In 2 months customers will forget what they paid for the coil cleaning and what they will remember is the service you gave them.

Thats a great question but I'm not sure if automotive air conditioning will be authorized. I looked up the number to the State of Florida that deals with questions (850) 487-1395

We are glad you enjoyed it Ryan!!

Haha, I get what you mean! The ultra-realistic style might’ve tipped it into that almost too perfect zone.

Thank you very much Eli for the great comment. We are glad you enjoyed it!!
