PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

For a few hours on January 9th, you could not legally buy or use virgin R404A, R507A and several other high GWP100 refrigerants in NY State. Fortunately, due to the efforts of several HVAC organizations, the New York State DEC decided to pause the enforcement of the law prohibiting the sale, purchase or use of these high GWP100 virgin refrigerants, pending an update on effective dates. As of this writing (January 23rd), the enforcement remains on hold. However, I doubt that the law itself will be repealed, and it would be wise for members to keep themselves informed. A similar law is currently in effect in California. If you use the prohibited refrigerants, start to prepare. Familiarize yourself with the approved replacements. Hopefully, when the NYS DEC clarifies the effective date, more details of the law will be explained. 

If there is a further update, I will let you know at our February meeting. 

Drew Garda, President
Metropolitan NY Chapter, RSES
