Coolant Rules and What They Mean for Folsom
R-22 was banned from new production in 2020. Stockpiled supply is running out and prices are high. Early R-410A units can still be serviced, but new units no longer use R-410A. As of 2026, new AC systems must use low-GWP coolants like R-32 or R-454B. Folsom homeowners with old systems face rising repair costs and a shrinking parts supply.
A new system sidesteps all of that. The current coolants are widely stocked, and new units meet SEER2 minimums that cut your cooling bill. Fresh Air coordinates the full swap, the permit, and the HERS test. You get cool air and a clean title-24 record. License #945361. Insured. Since 2009.
