Technicians often make statements to sound knowledgeable, when they really don't have any actual information to support what they are saying. I don't know how the new rules will affect the cost of new HVAC systems, but I don't think the technician does either. The cost of HVAC systems is based more on marketing, than on the cost of the refrigerant alone.
