Masterclass Recap: What Real Estate Professionals Need to Know About the 2025 EPA Mandate

At Choice Home Warranty, we believe in providing more than just coverage—we’re committed to helping real estate professionals stay informed on the changes that affect their clients and their business.

This month, we hosted an exclusive Masterclass featuring Subject Matter Expert Bradford Sterling, who broke down one of the most important upcoming changes in the housing market: the 2025 EPA Mandate.

Why It Matters

The new EPA regulations mandate all system manufactured after 2024 to utilize new refrigerants making all existing equipment obsolete. While 410-A components can be installed for the year 2025, we’re already seeing shortages requiring complete replacement if/ when a part or system fails. Higher costs, supply challenges, and ignorance to new guidelines will make real estate transactions that much more challenging. The EPA mandate impacts ANY home with an air conditioner or heat pump! 

Bradford Sterling’s Approach

We know—EPA regulations aren’t the most thrilling topic. But Brad has a way of making complex, and let’s be honest, often dry information surprisingly engaging. He broke the mandate down in plain language, explaining:

  • The new EPA guidelines and compare/ contrast to the R-22 changeover.
  • The “why” for banning R-22 and now 410-A. 
  • The new refrigerants allowed and their properties. 
  • How the new guidelines will effect existing homeowners and real estate transactions
    • Provide real world examples of why “business as usual” thinking may not be as beneficial. 
  • The Agents role
    • Listing and Buyer’s presentations
    • Risk management
    • Business opportunities!
