Frequently Asked Questions
Is R32 replacing R410A in UK air conditioning?
Yes. R32 is the preferred refrigerant for all new UK residential and commercial AC installations as of 2025. Its GWP of 675 compares favourably to R410A’s GWP of 2,088, making it compliant with UK and EU F-Gas phase-down targets. Existing R410A systems continue to be serviced with R410A from compliant suppliers.
What is the GWP of R32 refrigerant?
R32 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675 and an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0. Its lower GWP compared to R410A (2,088) makes it the dominant choice for new UK AC installations under current F-Gas regulations.
Is R32 safe to handle in the UK?
R32 is classified A2L (mildly flammable) under EN 378. UK F-Gas Category I or II certification is required to purchase and handle R32. It must be stored in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. Follow standard HVAC safe-handling procedures at all times.
