R-410A Phase-Down and Heat Pump Swaps in Orangevale
The coolant used in most heat pumps, R-410A, is being phased down starting in 2025. New units use R-454B or R-32 instead. If your heat pump is older than 10 years and needs a coolant recharge, a full swap to a new unit often costs less in the long run.
