R-410A Is Running Out — Lock In Low Prices Before the 2026 Ban Hits

If your HVAC system is outdated, unreliable, or just not keeping up — this is your last real chance to replace it affordably.

Starting January 1, 2026, federal regulations will ban the installation of all new R-410A HVAC systems, no matter what inventory is left. And here’s what most people don’t realize:

R-410A equipment hasn’t been manufactured since January 1, 2025.

What’s left in the country is the last of it — and it’s disappearing fast.

At North Winds Mechanical, we’ve locked in a limited supply. But if you wait, you’ll face higher costs, more labor, longer downtime, and fewer options.

✅ Replace Now, Save Thousands

R-410A replacements are simple and cost-effective:

• Outdoor condenser

• Indoor coil

• In many cases, you can keep your existing air handler or furnace

That means less labor, fewer parts, and up to 50% lower costs than what’s coming next.

Newer R-410A systems still meet high efficiency standards — and we can install them fast, while inventory and rebates are still available.

⚠️ Wait Until 2026, and You’ll Be Forced to:

• Replace your entire system (air handler, coil, and condenser)

• Pay for more expensive refrigerant (R-454B or R-32)

• Add new code-required sensors and safety upgrades

• Cover 30–50% more in labor and parts

• Wait for backorders, inspections, and added complexity

🏝 Why This Hits Harder on Nantucket

Fast, same-day changeouts aren’t a luxury on the island — they’re essential.

With R-410A, we can often do quick swap-outs: just the condenser and coil, minimal disruption, and you’re back up and running.

With A2L systems, that won’t be possible.

You’ll need:

• Full removal and replacement of the air handler

• Longer time on site for code-required safety sensors, refrigerant line upgrades, and electrical updates

• Multiple trades involved, more inspections, and interior finish work

• Days, not hours, of system downtime

On Nantucket — where ferry-delayed parts, limited contractor availability, and rental turnover timelines are already a challenge — the risk of being without heat or cooling for days is real.

If you wait, you’ll pay more, wait longer, and have far fewer options.

📆 You Need to Act Now — Not Later

Your R-410A system must be installed and operational by December 31, 2025.

Even if there’s equipment sitting in a warehouse next January, it will be illegal to install.
