410A will be available many years to come. There are also replacment refrigerants for 410A. But at the beginning of this year all production of 410A HVAC components have been prohibited by law.

Master Tradesman’s recommendation: If your system is already nearing the end of its life, consider replacing it now. R-410A will remain in production and circulation for several years, so you’ve got quite some time before you’ll have to worry about being unable to find a compatible refrigerant.(may not be available now)
