Quality Degree Adopts A2L Refrigerants to Enhance HVAC Safety and Efficiency
Quality Degree integrates A2L refrigerants into its HVAC systems for improved safety and sustainability.
ROYERSFORD, PA, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Quality Degree has introduced A2L refrigerants into its HVAC offerings, marking a transition toward safer and lower-emission cooling technologies. This change follows updates in national refrigerant regulations and equipment standards. The addition of A2L refrigerants reflects industry efforts to reduce environmental impact while improving operational safety.Understanding A2L Refrigerants
A2L refrigerants (Class 2L mildly flammable refrigerants) are categorized under the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)’s safety classification system based on flammability and toxicity. The "A" denotes lower toxicity, while the "2L" refers to lower flammability with a slow-burning velocity—specifically, a flame propagation speed of less than 10 cm/s.
Because of these characteristics, A2L refrigerants are less likely to ignite compared to higher-flammability classes. At the same time, they offer a lower global warming potential (GWP) than many legacy refrigerants such as R-410A. These refrigerants are being phased into new systems to meet regulatory requirements while continuing to support effective and efficient cooling performance.
Why This Change Matters
The move to A2L refrigerants is aligned with environmental policies such as the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act. This federal regulation calls for a gradual phaseout of high GWP refrigerants, which are chemicals that contribute significantly to climate change when released into the atmosphere.
By switching to A2L refrigerants, HVAC systems can better support climate goals while ensuring long-term compliance with both state and national laws.
For homeowners and property managers, this shift means having access to systems designed with environmental impact and safety in mind.
Safety and Compliance with Modern HVAC Standards
Equipment built for A2L refrigerants must meet specific engineering standards, including proper ventilation and leak detection systems. These safety measures are designed to mitigate risk and ensure the refrigerant is used correctly. Service providers must follow updated training and installation protocols when working with A2L systems, which helps maintain safe conditions during and after installation.
Industry-Wide Adoption of A2L Systems
Manufacturers and contractors across the HVAC sector are now designing, installing, and servicing systems that use A2L refrigerants. This adoption supports broader market readiness for the national phaseout of older refrigerants. Customers installing new systems today are increasingly likely to encounter A2L-compatible equipment and technologies that meet updated energy efficiency and safety guidelines.
