Webinar: A2L Refrigerants & the 2025 HVAC Transition – What Building Officials Need to Know
June 24, 2025 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am
New Refrigerants, New Rules — Are You Ready?
Join us for a free, one-hour webinar designed specifically for building officials, inspectors, and code enforcement professionals preparing for the 2025 transition to A2 and A2L refrigerants in residential and commercial HVAC systems.
With the EPA phasing down high-GWP refrigerants like R-410A starting January 1, 2025, and manufacturers rolling out equipment charged with mildly flammable A2L refrigerants like R-32 and R-454B, it’s critical to understand what this means for plan review, installation inspections, and code compliance.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why the refrigerant transition is happening – and what the AIM Act requires
- How A2L refrigerants differ from A1’s (like R-410A) in safety, performance, and risk
- Code changes, charge limits, and system placement requirements under the IMC and IRC
- What to look for during inspections: equipment labeling, ventilation, leak detection, and training
BONUS:
All attendees receive a printable inspection checklist!!
