Thanks for the heads up. This is important information for anyone whose system is nearing the end of its useful life. I called our HVAC company and was told to expect a minimum 25% price increase starting in 2025. This information most definitely has changed my mind about trying to squeeze another couple years out of our 17+ year old HVAC system. I’m getting quotes next week on a new system to be installed by the end of 2024, before the new requirements take effect. Got a new roof earlier this year, getting a new hot water heater next week, and now a new HVAC system. Hopefully that will help us get a better rate on a new homeowners policy with Farmers pulling out of the state and dropping us.
