Buyer's Guide: Which Refrigerant Do You Need?
Before a Gulf Coast heat wave or storm forecast, confirm you have the right refrigerant on hand using the three steps below.
Step 1: Identify the System
Decide whether you are working on a vehicle AC system, a home or light-commercial HVAC unit, or a commercial refrigeration case. This choice narrows the entire product list.
Step 2: Check the Nameplate or Sticker
Vehicles list their factory refrigerant on an underhood sticker. AC units list theirs on the outdoor condenser nameplate. Always confirm before ordering.
Step 3: Match Your Situation Below
| Your Situation | Recommended Refrigerant |
|---|---|
| Car or truck AC, model year 2021 or newer | R-1234yf |
| Car or truck AC, older than 2021 | R-134A |
| Home or light-commercial AC installed after 2010 | R-410A |
| Older AC unit originally using R-22 | R-407C or R-438A (retrofit blend) |
| Commercial refrigeration or low-temp display cases | R-404A or R-448A |
| New low-GWP HVAC system (current code) | R-454B or R-32 |
| Chiller or process cooling replacing legacy R-22 | R-407A |
| Transitional service blend for existing R-22 equipment | R-452A |
| Topping off a small automotive system | Can tap and gauge set matched to R-1234yf or R-134A |

| Certification Needed | EPA 609 (mobile AC) | EPA 608 (stationary systems) |
| Container Sizes | Small cans, 30 lb cylinders | 25 lb, 50 lb cylinders, bulk tanks |
