President Donald Trump 
is set to announce the overhaul of two Biden-era Environmental Protection Agency rules for refrigerants in a push to lower grocery costs for consumers, according to an administration official.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, in a statement, said the refrigerant rules adopted by the Biden administration "didn’t protect human health or the environment and instead piled on costly, unattainable restrictions beyond what the law requires."
"Our actions allow businesses to choose the refrigeration systems that work best for them, saving them billions of dollars. This will be felt directly by American families in lower grocery prices," Zeldin said.

Holy crap, will we be able to get the same refrigerants our systems have been using the past 30 years?

I'm not sure the administration understands that the damage has already been done.
See light bulbs or gas cans.

Not necessarily, there are a tons of legacy systems chugging along that can now be repaired instead of replaced, saving $1000s.

If companies still have the refrigerant. Many don't because they have been doing exactly as you say, keeping them "chugging along".
I'm out and they ain't making anymore of it, that I know of.

Well if you weren't retarded you would realize regulations place cost burdens on companies that then get passed on to the consumer. When you have regulations that were created to further the climate change hoax, companies had to spend millions of dollars to implement compliance with the new regulations, which the consumer paid for.

it's funny that the AC manufacturers are the ones that lobbied for the rules changes as soon as their patents ran out. I wonder who is going to manufacturer the cheaper refrigerants for our local AC guy, and which manufacturer will build new unit with the cheaper coolant

Did you not notice how the prices of new HVAC systems quadrupled? You think this was just because of inflation? The new refrigerants developed have zero compatibility with legacy systems and many are flammable enough to need addition protection systems built in. This means almost completely revamped supply trains and install methods.
Stop being a contrarian retard.

This is me.. My system is 18 years old but still working like a champ.. I had the maintenance done and the guy said that if I had to replace the compressor I would have to change out the entire system and that would cost $1000's.. I am no expert but I think the regulations have changed at least twice since I installed my AC 18 years ago... The latest change.. The new freon is extremely flammable.. Am I right about that?

Manufacturers have already started to phase out the old R-134a systems and are already making the newer blended refrigerant systems that use the 2L flame rating refrigerants......
they can still keep making parts and compressors then for r-134a but the change will likely still happen, just slower....
and the new refrigerant is not as energy efficient as the older refrigerants, but more "environmentally" friendly

Its not "extremely" flammable but its flammable enough for codes to be updated which is where its going to add costs.

Why? It wouldn't make a difference to a dumbfrick like you.

Correct. Regulations are hidden taxes.
Cutting regulations is like cutting taxes.

HVAC guys are all gonna sky scream because they make money on the democrats changing the refrigerants every 5 years

When I see someone post:
and you respond with:
it comes to my mind that you must have great aspirations of becoming president of your HOA so you can create more useless rules and regulations for all your neighbors.
