Ross Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. | Reno, Nevada
A major shift is coming to the HVAC industry—and Ross Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help you stay ahead of it.
Starting in 2025, EPA regulations will require all newly manufactured air conditioning systems to use the new R-454B refrigerant, replacing R-410A. If you’re a homeowner or business owner in Reno or Sparks, this change affects your future HVAC upgrades—and it’s a great opportunity to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
What Is R-454B and Why Does It Matter?
R-454B is a next-generation refrigerant designed to meet strict environmental standards while boosting HVAC system performance. It’s a blend of R-32 and R-1234yf with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 466, well below the EPA’s threshold of 700. That’s a 75% reduction compared to R-410A!
At Ross Heating and Air Conditioning, we’re ready to help you transition to this cleaner, more efficient solution.
Why Upgrade to R-454B?
Switching to R-454B comes with several benefits:
✅ Energy Efficiency – Systems using R-454B operate more efficiently, which helps lower your monthly utility bills.
✅ Environmentally Friendly – R-454B does not harm the ozone layer and has significantly less environmental impact.
✅ Compliance with EPA Regulations – Stay compliant and avoid potential issues when it’s time to replace or upgrade your AC system.
✅ Proven Performance – R-454B systems have already passed rigorous field testing, including trials under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge.
What Homeowners in Reno and Northern Nevada Need to Know
If your current system was installed before 2010, it likely uses R-22, which is already banned. If it was installed between 2010 and 2024, it probably uses R-410A, which will be phased out by January 1, 2026.
So, what should you do?
Replace the entire system.
If your AC and furnace are 10+ years old or inefficient, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a system designed for R-454B.
