The Future of Refrigerants: Understanding Puron® Advance (R-454B)
The HVAC industry is evolving to meet global environmental standards, and with that evolution comes the introduction of Puron® Advance, also known as R-454B. As the next generation of refrigerants, Puron® Advance offers homeowners a cleaner, more sustainable way to stay comfortable.
What Is Puron® Advance (R-454B)?
Puron® Advance is a state-of-the-art refrigerant developed to replace R-410A, also known as Puron®. With a significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP), Puron® Advance is part of Carrier®’s commitment to creating more energy-efficient and environmentally responsible HVAC systems.
This transition aligns with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) AIM Act, which requires the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants like R-410A to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Starting in 2025, all new Carrier® HVAC systems will use Puron® Advance.
Benefits of Puron® Advance
Switching to Puron® Advance offers several advantages, including:
- Lower Environmental Impact: With a GWP of 466, Puron® Advance reduces the environmental impact by 78% compared to R-410A.
- Energy Efficiency: HVAC systems designed for Puron® Advance are optimized for better energy efficiency, helping to lower utility costs.
- Sustainability: By choosing a system with Puron® Advance, you’re contributing to a more sustainable future without compromising home comfort.
