The shift to A2L refrigerants is reshaping HVAC systems across the United States. Starting January 1, 2025, the EPA will ban manufacturing systems using refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) above 700, such as R-410A. This change aims to reduce environmental impact but raises concerns about the flammability of new refrigerants like R-454B and R-32. Understanding how leak mitigation sensors work in these systems is crucial for safety and compliance. Why A2L Refrig

Homeowners often ask if they can simply add a heat pump to their existing electrical system. The answer depends on whether the home's electrical panel can handle the additional load safely and efficiently. The National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 220 provides the guidelines needed to calculate if a panel is ready for new electrification equipment like heat pumps. This post explains how to use NEC Article 220 to determine panel readiness, focusing on the 125% continuous load

Many homeowners feel frustrated when their air conditioning system seems to cool the air but leaves the indoor environment feeling clammy or uncomfortable. The problem is often blamed on humidity, but the real issue lies deeper in the physics of cooling: the balance between latent and sensible cooling loads. Understanding this balance, especially the latent heat ratio, can explain why your AC might feel like it is failing even when it is working as designed. What Are Sensible
