PRESIDENT'S MARCH 2025 MESSAGE

Effective April 1, 2025 in New York State you cannot purchase, sell or install virgin refrigerants with a GWP2200 and above. They include R422B, R125, R410B, R438A plus others. This is no April Fools joke. Notice: this law prohibits using these virgin refrigerants after April 1st even if you purchased them before April 1st. The approved substitute refrigerants are ok to use.

Our next big date is January 1, 2026 at which time it is prohibited to purchase, sell or install equipment using virgin R404A or R507A. Again, substitutes are allowed.

You should be aware that the NYS regulation differs from the Federal EPA regulations. It is highly advisable to read the NYS regulation on the NYS website https://dec.ny.gov and see how it applies to you. The regulation is under part 494.
​
I hope to see you at our March meeting.

Drew Garda, President
Metropolitan NY Chapter, RSES
