Starting in 2023, air conditioning systems will contain a new refrigerant called R-454b with a lower global warming potential. This coolant is more environmentally friendly than its predecessors, but it is also slightly flammable. Homeowners don't need to replace existing HVAC equipment, as this phased reduction in harmful greenhouse gases does not require it. The use of R-454b as a refrigerant is part of a larger effort to reduce the environmental impact of air conditioning systems.
This new refrigerant has a lower global warming potential than other refrigerants, meaning it has less of an impact on the environment. Additionally, it is non-ozone depleting, meaning it won't contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer. The use of R-454b as a refrigerant is also beneficial for homeowners. It is more efficient than other refrigerants, meaning it can help reduce energy costs.
Additionally, it is less flammable than other refrigerants, making it safer for homeowners and technicians alike. At ACS Air Conditioning Service, we are proud to be part of the effort to reduce the environmental impact of air conditioning systems. Our technicians are trained and certified to handle the new R-454b refrigerant safely and efficiently. We are committed to providing our customers with the best service possible.
In conclusion, R-454b is an environmentally friendly and efficient refrigerant that will be used in air conditioning systems starting in 2023. It has a lower global warming potential than other refrigerants and is non-ozone depleting. Additionally, it is more efficient and less flammable than other refrigerants, making it safer for homeowners and technicians alike.
