What’s the Buzz About R-454B Refrigerant?
The HVAC industry is taking a monumental step forward in environmental responsibility with the introduction of R-454B refrigerant. Designed to replace the widely used R-410A, this innovative refrigerant has a significantly lower global warming potential (GWP), helping to protect the environment by reducing ozone depletion and greenhouse gas emissions.
R-410A has been the standard in air conditioning and heat pump systems for over two decades. However, starting in 2025, the production and sale of R-410A systems and refrigerants will be phased out, making way for the cleaner and more efficient R-454B.
If you choose to repair your system instead of replacing it, we'll take the cost of the repair and apply it as a deposit towards your brand-new, trouble-free system when the time comes.

The Transition from R-410A to R-454B
Family HVAC is ahead of the curve in preparing for this transition. Our team is fully informed and ready to help customers navigate this change, whether by maintaining existing R-410A systems to extend their lifespan or installing the new R-454B systems for optimal performance and efficiency.
Why Is R-454B the Future?
In the 1990s, the phase-out of R-22 refrigerant marked a significant milestone in reducing environmental impact. Now, R-410A is following suit, with its high GWP of 2,088 exceeding new regulatory limits anticipated to cap at 750.
R-454B, a blend of R-32 and R-1234yf, boasts a dramatically reduced GWP of 466, making it a standout alternative. This refrigerant meets the proposed requirements set for 2025 and aligns with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, which aims to phase down high-GWP refrigerants globally.
Benefits of R-454B Refrigerant
- Environmental Impact:
With a GWP of 466, R-454B significantly lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to R-410A. - Efficiency and Comfort:
Optimized for modern HVAC systems, R-454B ensures superior performance and energy efficiency. - Regulatory Compliance:
Meets anticipated U.S. regulations and future global phase-down targets, ensuring long-term availability and compliance. - Cost Savings:
Federal and utility rebates may be available for customers upgrading to systems that use R-454B.
