About IRA
The IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) is a law designed to combat climate change in the United States. Fiscal incentives to encourage environmentally-conscious choices among homeowners include tax credits and consumer rebates that reward energy-efficient HVAC installations as well as the use of renewable resources like electricity. Since environmental conservation is a national priority, many homeowners are making choices with the planet in mind, and what products are in demand in the HVAC market has changed.
Heat Pumps
As there continues to be a steady movement away from traditional air conditioning systems with the new incentives in place, there is an uptick in the demand for heat pumps. Why heat pumps? Well, a key feature included in the program is upgrading to heat-pump technology for heating and cooling. Heat pumps are the more energy-efficient option that can replace standard air-conditioning units requiring more electricity. Specifically, the IRA program offers a 30% tax credit for up to $2,000 to anyone purchasing and installing them. Some benefits of heat pumps include improved air quality, quiet operation, reduced carbon emissions, less maintenance and energy efficiency.
Mini-Split Heat Pumps
Types of heat pumps such as the popular mini-split heat pump combine mini-split systems with heat pump technology. They offer the convenience & flexibility of ductless indoor air-handlers with the heating/cooling power & efficiency of heat pumps. The new GLO Seal SPE-SDSK-CS is ideal for any mini-split system or small appliance.
The SNAP Program by EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program implements section 612 of the amended Clean Air Act of 1990. This requires EPA to thoroughly evaluate substitutes for any ozone-depleting substances to reduce the risk to both human health and the environment. Through these evaluations, SNAP creates lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes for each industry. Learn more about SNAP regulations here.
Trusted AR-GLO Dye in GLO Seal is Compatible with New Refrigerants
The rapid transition of lower-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants is no concern for Spectroline’s fluorescent dye that is in all its GLO Seal products. AR-GLO 5 dye was evaluated for compatibility with R290 and R600a. Using ASHRAE STD 172 Method of Test for Insoluble Materials in Synthetic Lubricants and HFC Refrigerant System both tests showed no compatibility issues between the dye product and the refrigerants evaluated. Spectroline dye does not affect the operating characteristics of any system they are used in other than changing the color of system oil. These dyes are true solutions of organic fluorophores within inert carrier fluids. AR-GLO is non-particulate dye. It is filtered down to 2 microns, assuring that any stray particles are captured. AR-GLO 5 is system safe for all types of units to continually circulate with all popular refrigerants and oils without causing harm. View the Tech Bulletin for AR-GLO 5 Compatibility with A2L Refrigerants.

NEW GLO Seal Syringe and Adapter Kit

The GLO Seal syringe and adapter kit, SPE-SDSK-CS, contains a 0.3 oz (10 ml) syringe prefilled with GLO Seal, and one dual adapter for injecting into the system. GLO Seal (see all different injection methods available here) is an OEM-Grade fluorescent UV dye combined with powerful non-polymer sealant. In this delivery method, GLO Seal can treat up to 2.5 tons (8,79kW) of cooling. The inexpensive price point allows for flexible entry into various different markets and applications.
The single-use disposable syringe injector is new for Spectroline and offers a convenient way to inject into the system with no additional tools needed. However, what makes this kit unique is the new Spectroline pivoting dual adapter. It is designed to treat systems with ease, being a versatile 2-in-1 tool easily switching from ¼” and 5/16th flare fittings.
The kit provides a fast and easy way to find and fix AC leaks and is a key component to have on hand to extend equipment lifespan, eliminate call-backs and prevent costly breakdowns through its 24/7 continuous leak detection and ongoing sealing.
