Why the New Refrigerant Matters and Why You Should Upgrade
The HVAC industry is constantly evolving, and 2025 brings one of the most significant changes yet: the adoption of new eco-friendly refrigerants like R-454B. This shift isn’t just about meeting regulations
—it’s about creating a more sustainable and efficient future for homes and businesses alike.
What’s
Changing?
In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, older refrigerants such as R- 410A are being phased out and replaced with greener alternatives like R-454B. These new refrigerants have a much lower global warming potential (GWP), making them better for the environment.
Why Should You Upgrade?
Here are the top reasons to consider upgrading your HVAC system in 2025:
- Environmental Impact:
Traditional refrigerants contribute significantly to global warming. By switching to a system that uses R-454B, you’re playing a part in protecting the planet for future generations. - Energy Efficiency:
Systems designed for the new refrigerants are built to operate more efficiently, which means lower energy bills for you. - Compliance with Regulations:
As older refrigerants are phased out, maintaining systems that use them will become more expensive due to limited supply and increasing costs. Upgrading now ensures you’re ahead of the curve. - Enhanced Performance:
Newer systems don’t just meet higher standards—they often exceed them, providing better cooling and heating while using less energy.
