Everything You Need to Know About the 2025 Refrigerant Transition: Switching to R-454B
The Future of HVAC: MRCOOL’s Commitment to Eco-Friendly Cooling
At MRCOOL DIY Direct, we are dedicated to providing homeowners with energy-efficient, environmentally responsible HVAC solutions. In 2025, the HVAC industry is making a major shift away from R-410A refrigerant in favor of more sustainable alternatives. As part of our commitment to innovation and compliance with new EPA refrigerant regulations, all MRCOOL 2025 Compliant HVAC Systems will exclusively use R-454B.
What Is the 2025 Refrigerant Transition?
The 2025 refrigerant phase-out is driven by U.S. EPA regulations under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, which mandates a reduction in high-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants. As part of this transition:
- R-410A refrigerant is being phased out due to its high environmental impact.
- MRCOOL’s entire 2025 product lineup will use R-454B, a low-GWP, energy-efficient refrigerant.
- This transition supports sustainability goals and ensures compliance with updated HVAC regulations.
Why Is MRCOOL Using R-454B?
MRCOOL has chosen R-454B as the sole replacement for R-410A in all of our ducted and ductless HVAC systems because it offers:
✅ Lower Environmental Impact – R-454B has a 78% lower GWP than R-410A.
✅ Higher Energy Efficiency – Our new systems deliver superior cooling and heating performance while using less energy.
✅ Regulatory Compliance – R-454B meets the EPA’s 2025 refrigerant requirements, ensuring you invest in a system that’s future-proof.
Impact on Current HVAC Systems
If your home has an R-410A or R-22 system, here’s what you need to know:
- You can continue using and servicing your current system.
- Replacement parts and refrigerant refills will remain available but may become more expensive as R-410A is phased out.
- When it’s time to upgrade, your new system will use R-454B, ensuring compliance with 2025 regulations and long-term cost savings.
Should You Repair or Replace Your HVAC System?
🔧 Repair: If your system is still working efficiently, you can continue servicing it with R-410A until replacement becomes necessary.
💰 Replace: Upgrading to a new MRCOOL R-454B system ensures lower energy bills, reduced environmental impact, and eligibility for rebates & incentives.
Common Questions About the 2025 Refrigerant Transition
Will R-454B Refrigerant Be More Expensive?
Like any new technology, R-454B system prices may be slightly higher initially due to updated components. However, long-term energy savings and rebates help offset costs.
Is R-454B Safe?
Yes! While classified as a mildly flammable A2L refrigerant, R-454B is safe for residential use. MRCOOL systems feature advanced Refrigerant Detection Systems to ensure safety in the event of a leak.
Will I Still Be Able to Get Parts for My R-410A System?
Yes, replacement parts and refrigerant refills will remain available for older systems, though supply may decline over time.
