As a leading provider of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) services, Mr. Heat Mechanical has always been at the forefront of adopting innovative and sustainable solutions. In line with this commitment, we are excited to announce our transition to R-454B, a new refrigerant that is set to revolutionize the HVAC industry.
R-454B, also known by the trademarked names Opteon XL41, Solstice 454B, and Puron Advance, is a zeotropic blend of 68.9 percent difluoromethane (R-32), a hydrofluorocarbon, and 31.1 percent 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf), a hydrofluoroolefin1. This new refrigerant is intended to be an alternative to the widely used R-410A in new equipment.
The primary reason for our shift to R-454B is its significantly reduced global warming potential (GWP). R-454B has a GWP of 466, which is 78 percent lower than R-410A’s GWP of 2088. This means that R-454B has a much lower climate impact, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
R-454B is non-toxic and mildly flammable, with an ASHRAE safety classification of A2L. In terms of performance, R-454B offers similar cooling capabilities to R-410A, ensuring that our customers will continue to enjoy the same level of comfort and efficiency they have come to expect from our products and services.
At Mr. Heat Mechanical, we understand the importance of sustainability in today’s world. By transitioning to R-454B, we are not only improving the environmental footprint of our products but also preparing for the future. As the HVAC industry continues to evolve, we remain committed to providing our customers with the most advanced, efficient, and sustainable solutions available.In conclusion, the adoption of R-454B marks a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to reduce our environmental impact and provide our customers with the best HVAC solutions. We look forward to continuing to serve you with our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability.
