Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The deadline everyone told you about no longer exists.In 2024 the EPA said you had until January 1, 2026 to install an air conditioner using R-410A. Contractors repeated it. Trade publications ran it. Cost calculators were built around it.In May 2026 the EPA removed that deadline entirely - and almost nobody noticed. Search the subject today and you will still find the old version, published confidently, dated this year, and wrong.This book was written against the primary sources: the EPA's own rules, fact sheets and sector tables, not the coverage of them.What you will learn- Why your existing system is not on a clock, and what you can still legally repair - indefinitely- Why one source says refrigerant costs four dollars a pound and another says a hundred and fifty, and which number applies to your quote- What R-454B and R-32 actually are, and why the choice matters less than you have been told- The single question that separates a sound replacement recommendation from a sales pitch- Why the federal tax credit you may be counting on expired on December 31, 2025- How long R-410A will really be available, measured against what happened during the R-22 phase-out- What a leak actually costs to find and fix, and why recharging without fixing it is a subscription rather than a repairWritten for the moment you are standing in your driveway holding a quote.Twenty-two chapters, four appendices, and a plain answer to the question every homeowner is being given a different answer to.
