Also we’ve already been selling equipment with the new shit for years in anticipation of phasing out the older stuff. Now we just get a few more years of limbo where noone knows what’s going to happen.
But also let me take this opporitunity to get on my soapbox. The new refrigerants are a BS half measure. We should just be going all the way to A3 hydrocarbons instead of this A2L crap. Hydrocarbons are way less environmentally damaging, and vastly superior refrigerants in every way except flamability. Sure it’s a risk having a couple pounds of liquified propane in your house, but there are easy ways to mitigate that risk. A2Ls already require leak detection and pump down mechanisms so it would just be the same in that regard. Plus how much more risky is it than the 30lbs of liquified propane a bunch of people already have sitting under grills directly adjacent to their house.
