At Jay’s Heating & Cooling, we are excited to announce that our entire team of technicians is now certified to work on the next generation of HVAC refrigerants, specifically A2L refrigerants! This certification comes through the ESCO Group’s Low GWP Refrigerant Safety Course, which ensures that our techs are prepared to safely handle the transition to these eco-friendly refrigerants.
What Does This Mean for You?
As the HVAC industry makes the shift from traditional Freon to A2L refrigerants in response to the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020, homeowners can expect changes in refrigerant technology, service practices, and system maintenance. These new A2L refrigerants are designed to be more environmentally friendly by offering a lower global warming potential (GWP) and will improve energy efficiency and performance compared to traditional Freon systems.
With our technicians now fully certified, you can rest assured that your HVAC system is in expert hands. We will continue to service your existing Freon-based system for its remaining life and we are ready to help you upgrade to an A2L refrigerant system once the time comes. We’ve got you covered every step of the way.
What’s Involved in the Certification?
Our team earned their certification through the Low GWP Refrigerant Safety Course provided by the ESCO Group, a leading organization in HVAC training. This program focuses on equipping technicians with the knowledge and skills to handle the safe installation, maintenance, and servicing of systems using low-GWP refrigerants like A2L.
The course covered critical areas such as:
- Safe handling practices for A2L refrigerants
