What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The EPA is monitoring the HVAC market due to a rise in equipment and refrigerants that may not comply with federal regulations. Heating, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) noted that some R-410A outdoor condensing units made in 2025 or 2026 may not meet U.S. Department of Energy efficiency standards. These units must carry a “for servicing only” label if they are not used in a full system replacement.
