✓
Future-Proof Your Home
With R-410A production ramping down (per the AIM Act), R-454B ensures you aren't buying obsolete technology. -
✓
Similar Operating Pressures
For technicians, R-454B behaves very similarly to R-410A, meaning installation and diagnostics are efficient and familiar. -
✓
Superior Heating & Cooling
Early data suggests R-454B can offer slightly higher capacity and efficiency than R-410A, especially in modern inverter-driven heat pumps. -
✓
Environmental Stewardship
Reducing GWP from ~2,088 (R-410A) to ~466 (R-454B) is a massive step forward in combating climate change without sacrificing comfort.
A2L Safety: What you need to know
R-454B is classified as "A2L" (Mildly Flammable). While this sounds technical, modern engineering makes it incredibly safe for residential use.
-
✓
Built-in Sensors
New indoor units feature integrated leak detection sensors that automatically shut down the system if a leak is detected. -
✓
Hard to Ignite
Unlike propane, A2L refrigerants are difficult to ignite and require a high-energy concentration and open flame to burn. -
✓
Sealed Components
Internal electrical components are sealed to prevent sparks, adding an extra layer of protection for your home.
