From 2027, new air-to-water heat pumps up to 12 kW can no longer use refrigerants with GWP ≥ 150 in the EU. The practical handbook for installers working with R290 and CO₂ — regulations, safety, installation, commissioning and diagnosis. In your language.
EU F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 changes what you can install in homes.
New monobloc and split air-to-water heat pumps up to 12 kW with GWP ≥ 150 can no longer be placed on the EU market. Natural refrigerants like R290 become the standard.
Charge limits, safety distances, ventilation, leak detection and the right tools are now part of every job. Mistakes cost money — and safety.
Split air-to-air units ≤12 kW follow in 2029, and fluorinated gases are phased out of small systems by 2032–2035. The skills you build now last.
Heating and refrigeration installers, service technicians and apprentices who install or maintain heat pumps with R290 or CO₂.
