Navigating the R-410A Transition When Replacing Your AC

With federal phasedowns restricting virgin R-410A chemical production, repairing older systems with coil leaks has become increasingly expensive. New air conditioning replacement systems utilize low-GWP refrigerants like R-32 or R-454B. Upgrading your full split system ensures parts availability and eliminates reliance on obsolete chemical supplies during peak Houston heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is smarter to replace your AC if the unit is over 10 years old, uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant, or if the estimated repair cost multiplied by the equipment age exceeds $5,000 (the $5,000 rule).

Replacing only the outdoor condenser is not recommended. Mismatched outdoor and indoor coils reduce system efficiency below SEER2 standards, risk TXV metering failures, and void most manufacturer warranties.
