How Modern HVAC Services and Low-GWP Refrigerants Are Helping the Planet🔧 The HVAC Industry’s Environmental Responsibility

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential for comfort — but they also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, especially through older refrigerants. At Comfort Climate Services, we recognize our responsibility to offer solutions that don’t just cool your space but also protect our planet.

❄️ What Are Refrigerants, and Why Do They Matter?

Refrigerants are chemicals used in AC systems to absorb and release heat. Many traditional refrigerants like R-22 or R-410A have a high Global Warming Potential (GWP), which means they can trap heat in the atmosphere if leaked.

When released, just 1kg of a high-GWP refrigerant can warm the planet more than 2,000kg of carbon dioxide!

🧪 The Shift to Low-GWP Refrigerants

Modern HVAC systems are now using low-GWP refrigerants like:

• R-32 – With a GWP of 675 (compared to 2088 of R-410A)

• R-290 (Propane) – Very low GWP and energy-efficient

• R-1234yf – An ultra-low GWP option used in newer systems

These refrigerants perform better, last longer, and leave a smaller carbon footprint.

📉 Global Targets to Cut Emissions

Under the Kigali Amendment and F-Gas Regulation, many countries (including the UK) have agreed to phase down high-GWP refrigerants by more than 70% by 2030. This push is helping the HVAC industry evolve quickly, with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation.

⚙️ New Technology, Cleaner Cooling

Modern AC systems now feature:

• Smart controls for better energy use

• Leak detection systems

• Inverter compressors to reduce energy waste

• Heat pumps that work for both heating and cooling efficiently

These upgrades not only save money but also reduce emissions.
