What do you mean? The half-life is ~8000y so its not like you'll run out. Do you mean the isomeric state is different because the nucleus is unstable long-term, I'm not sure that this matters.

There are commonly sold flammable refrigerant things now in the USA, I see a bunch of small fridges using alkanes and cycloalkanes, not sure about HVAC.
