Due to a recent mandate, homeowners will see significant changes to HVAC systems in 2025. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established new requirements for refrigerants used in air conditioners and furnaces. While the mandate’s goal is to reduce the impact of global climate change, it will directly affect pricing. Here’s what you need to know.
What Is the 2025 EPA Mandate?
The 2025 EPA mandate is a set of new HVAC regulations introduced to phase out the use of the existing classes of refrigerants for alternatives with lower global warming potential (GWP). The changes are set to take full effect on January 1, 2025, meaning all HVAC systems manufactured after that date must use the new refrigerants. The refrigerant change will result in up to a 30% increase in the costs of replacements and repair.
The Reason for the Price Increase
The implementation of these mandates will affect the HVAC industry at every level, including manufacturing, engineering, retooling and service. For instance, manufacturers will face higher production costs as they accommodate the new refrigerants. Contractors will need to train technicians to install these new systems correctly and safely.
The new HVAC regulations also require manufacturers to install refrigerant leak detection on the evaporator coils attached to furnaces. The mandated technological upgrades and other changes contribute to the anticipated 30% HVAC price increase in 2025.
Why Should You Replace Your HVAC System Now?
By 2025, homeowners will see a price increase of an added $2000 to $5000 for replacements. If you want to save on costs and benefit from the enhanced efficiency of a new system, there’s no better time than now.
By replacing your system before the mandate takes effect, you can:
- Update an older HVAC unit: An air conditioning unit or furnace approaching the end of its life span will likely require costly service or completely break down sooner rather than later. Instead of delaying the replacement for a year or two when the mandate has already been implemented, it’s best to replace your system now and save.
- Improve efficiency for less: If you replace your air conditioner or furnace now, you can get our high-efficiency 2024 systems from leading brands at a lower cost compared to what you’ll pay once the refrigerant change requirements go into effect. These reliable systems come with advanced technological features and industry-leading warranties.
- Take advantage of financing: We offer exceptional financing options, so you can still get one of the last remaining systems even if you don’t have a budget reserved for it. With no money down and low monthly payments, you can replace your system before the HVAC price increase in 2025 and enjoy saving on power bills.

Minoru Aoki
Their technician, Jacob Weber, came to our house to perform an overall plumbing inspection. He was thorough and checked every toilet, sink, and drain for leakage and condition. He even checked the status of the sewer line. He was friendly and clearly knew what he was doing. He made some suggestions for work we could consider such as replacing rusting parts that might leak in the future and cause considerable damage if that were to occur.
