Even with incentives, you still pay full price (nearly).
About 6 years ago I replaced my 24K BTU HVAC with 4 cheap window AC units from walmart. I installed 18K, 12K, 8K ,8K BTU units in my 1,700 sq ft house. Yeah, major overkill. However, with them all running at the same time they only run maybe 1hr twice a day. My house gets cold quick. Not surprisingly my electric bill went significantly down since the previous HVAC was running most of the day.. In my case, multiple window units are cheaper to operate than a big HVAC central system.
interesting.... How do you heat your home in Winter?
@@NewHVACGuide Living in middle Tenn I use a combination of infrared heaters, electric blankets and kerosene . My electric (heating) bill in winter is more than it is in summer.
@@PickledHamI tried space heaters for a couple months in south central Ky, cost 270 a month in December vs 110 for hvac gas in 1100 sq ft home
@@rp-wb6xn That is not what I am seeing. I have 3 IR heaters (not radiant) main room: huge wall mount with blue led eye candy, bedroom: small fake fireplace, bathroom: small counter top. all use 1300 watts. During the 8ft snow/ice storm last January they ran 24-7 for 1 week.house stayed 72F. Electric bill went from $72 to $118. We have TVA electric.
The public is tired of CONSTANTLY changing HVAC systems/refrigerants…in the name of environmental concerns. It really is because patents change every 10 years. Plus the amount of refrigerants leaking every hour from cars, office buildings and homes is enormous. Here is the quick solution…Geothermal, smaller homes and no office buildings (work at home online if possible) would lower the human footprint on the environment immediately. However the greedy corporate capitalists need their office rent money and all related profit centers. The quick answer (because we cannot beat these scumbag greedy capitalists) is ONLY purchase R32 units (I.e. Goodman, Daikin,etc),
The rest of the world uses R32 with no patents so it is less expensive all around. Let “corporate greed” keep their expensive B.S. scam new equipment and new (flammable) refrigerant. People must fight against these corporate greedy scumbags. 👍
Not one word about the "new" efficiency. My R22 system is still pumping out cool air. Late model Carrier air handler. Really old compressor.
As with the new energy savings windows, I fear the mfg raise the prices greedily, that nullify the rebates in the final cost to the customer.
Thanks for the video! I have a small leak in one of my units that the HVAC tech could not trace with a sniffer. This is the second time in 18 months this has happened. Currently going through the trade-offs of getting another tech out for an ultrasonic leak detection for a possible repair, or shot-gunning the whole condenser unit or even the the entire system with a higher SEER (and properly sized) system. And now there's the possibility of waiting on new units with new refrigerant!
Question. How is it that 19 months before a ban on R-410 equipment there isn't yet R-32 equipment on the market?
Love my Daikin Fit and got 3,100 in rebates and incentive money back. Happy happy with my Daikin.
Woah $3100!
I have heard from other HVAC guys that the new systems will be about 30% more. If that's true, that's a really good reason NOT to wait.
I keep hearing all kinds of things. I hope they’re wrong but they may not be
I was told by an HVAC tech they expect hardware prices to balloon 30%.
Everyone should wait for the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA) program as it is big money, that is taking forever to be implemented. HEEHRA is a voluntary program that covers 100 percent of electrification project costs (up to $14,000) for low-income households and 50 percent of costs (up to $14,000) for moderate-income households.
I picked up a new R22 2Ton compressor for $200 bucks and am building a ground source water to water heat pump to warm my radiant floor when my solar hot water can’t keep up on cloudy days I will be using R290 (propane) it will be a monoblock design located outside
Now…that is a smart person. You have my praise 👍. Propane is cheap and everything is outside. Are there any flammable issues you are concerned about?
Joshua Griffin as always that's a good video presentation; food for thought!
Thanks Bob!
holding out till 410 is super cheap for closeouts for my rental property. Did that in 2012 for a Trane XB13 and running perfect in AZ 12 years latter, hope to time it right for next swap in about 3 years.
My R-22 system from 1991 still runs great.
410a will be cheap? Why you think that?
I'm still running r22 units.
What about RS-53 (R470A) that is supposed to be compatible with R410a equipment?
Which one? Trane or Tempstar Heat Pump.
Just bought a new York HMH7 and coil last year. To convert to R32, would that entail totally new equipment or could the units-- any unit for that matter-- be flushed and filled with the new stuff? Inverter system. Coils just allow the refrigerant to flow through, correct? Just thinking ahead. I do have 10 years parts and labor. Good video as always.
No sorry. A2L refrigerants will require sensors that your current system won’t have
It's the middle of the summer, why do you keep showing people freezing?
Do these considerations apply to heat pumps? That's the HVAC upgrade that tempts me.
If you live up north.....good luck next winter.
Yes Tad... Mostly heat pumps
Want to lower your heating and air conditioning bills.
Blower door testing and air sealing are under appreciated tools for improving comfort and reducing heating and AC bills.
When looking to save money on utilities always start with adding insulation and sealing air leaks before tackling the HVAC system.
Electric heat pumps are the future.
Manufacturers and installers will grab all incentives. But will make it appear they passed them through
Some incentives are done on the backend, including tax time. But I know what you’re saying.
When are the co going to go to more natural refrigerants like propane and CO2 ???
Seems they are dragging their feet ...
Make ALL refrigerant use be outside of the building shell...
All units sealed and ready to install with no refrigerants added on site...
Sealed units similar to a refigerator or window a/c unit...
Many of the "NEW" refrigerants are blends of old components...
With the added costs of home ownership going through the roof; (property taxes, insurance, utilities, general maintenance) you will that home owners will not be able to afford these new systems. Mark my words you will see nice houses with window units poking out. One again renters will get screwed; because landlords cannot or will not absorb the added expense.
new tech is not always better. For instance refrigerators and freezers lasted 30 40 50 years now last 5 years is that really better for the environment? The government doesnt care about the environment, they care about consumerism as they are funded by these corporations that want to increase profits.
Totally agree…The public is tired of CONSTANTLY changing HVAC systems/refrigerants…in the name of environmental concerns. The refrigerant higher pressures destroy the units quicker…more money for greedy scumbags. The changes is because patents change every 10 years - not environment.
Plus the amount of refrigerants leaking every hour from cars, office buildings and homes is enormous.

I just got R32, better, but not perfect.
The perfect refrigerant will be expensive I'd imagine for residential. Starts with a C and ends with an O2. 🙂
Think long term savings. Buying the cheapest product now may not be the best for your long term financial savings.
New equipment and technology comes with lower operating and maintenance costs which will save you money in the long term.
Yep when I'm 125, finally get my savings 😮
Not really.
These New AC Freon are flammable. They will burn down your house. Why would you get these unless you are trying to burn down your house on purpose?
I also have a gas stove inside the kitchen, wood framing, and a Bic lighter in the junk drawer.
Every home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels.
Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it.
We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes.
It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity.
the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
