Planning a 2026 HVAC project?
Ecoer helps contractors and distributors secure NEEP-certified, rebate-eligible R410A systems — without the added cost and complexity of A2L.
As the HVAC industry navigates new refrigerant regulations, commercial contractors, distributors, and project managers face questions about equipment availability, compliance, and incentives in 2026. One critical concern stands out:
Can R410A heat pumps still be sold, installed, and rebate-qualified in 2026?
The answer is yes — and Ecoer makes it simple for B2B professionals to act confidently.
Ecoer Keeps You Ahead in a Changing Regulatory Landscape
The EPA’s Technology Transitions Program introduced new standards in 2025, requiring low-GWP refrigerants for new HVAC equipment. While production of new R410A systems for residential and light commercial applications has largely stopped, Ecoer’s NEEP-certified R410A heat pumps remain available through sellthrough inventory.
This means:
- Contractors can access high-efficiency, rebate-eligible R410A systems without paying the premium for A2L refrigerants when it’s not required.
- Ecoer provides guidance on compliance and rebate capture, helping B2B professionals navigate complex program rules.
By relying on Ecoer, contractors can maximize efficiency, maintain project budgets, and stay ahead of regulatory shifts.
Why NEEP Certification and Ecoer Matter
