R454B and R32 Refrigerant Update

Posted on Tuesday Apr 08, 2025 at 08:31AM in Regulatory Updates


Dear Valued Customers:


We have received numerous reports of 454B refrigerant shortages by our refrigerant suppliers. Early indications are there is also a tank shortage, other reports are it is actually due to 454B refrigerant shortages. As this is a new refrigerant for the industry, it may be a combination of BOTH. We are also aware the OEM manufacturers are shipping with “less than a full charge”, or even without refrigerant. Certainly not making an install easy, not to mention the cost to come back to the jobsite to "top off" and check for full charge to meet OEM warranty requirements.


In any event, with a new refrigerant offering, along with being a blend with other refrigerants, there certainly could be supplier and product issues.


As you all know, all Daikin brands elected to use a pure, non- blended refrigerant of R32. R32 has been used in Europe and around the world for many years and was the preferred refrigerant in mini-split offering by several manufacturers as well.


The best news for the HVAC Industry is:

• We have R32, a proven design with Goodman, Amana, and Daikin A/C and Heat Pump in stock to serve all of your needs!

• We have plenty of R32 refrigerant in stock, and at a price much less than R454B.

• What a GREAT opportunity to install the only TRUE inverter Side Discharge Condenser and Heat Pump IN STOCK!


In conclusion, we know a little bit about product and refrigerant conversions! Our storm is over, calm waters are here with R32 and Geary Pacific Supply.


Our Territory Sales Managers will be reaching out to you to assist in any way we can. We have product in stock and ready to ship, completely charged!
