“Designing long-term performance test technologies to meet long-term criteria reflects our overall commitment to sustainability while reducing installation time and maintenance prices for our customers,” said David Budzinski, president, global residential and soft advertising products, Johnson Controls. For our customers, partners and suppliers, we are excited to deliver a planned refresh of our residential and light advertising portfolio, ahead of upcoming regulations. We’ve added differentiated features and simplified the overall user experience with our products.
Johnson Controls has long been a champion in transitioning to low-GWP refrigerants and is one of the first to market to launch more than 70% of its product portfolio, more than six months before the 2025 regulatory change. The launch includes the majority of the company’s residential portfolio of indoor heat pumps, air conditioners, air handling equipment and evaporative coils.
“The entire portfolio has been redesigned with a new, modern color scheme and enhanced features that target greater efficiency, improved serviceability and installation, with a specific focus on expanding qualifications for incentivized consumers through federal rebates and tax credits,” said Sophia Bellos, vice president of product control for residential systems and environmental advertising at Johnson Controls. “I am particularly pleased that our new variety of heat pumps will allow consumers to take advantage of increased tax credits and rebates, not only when combined with our air handlers, but also with our furnaces, whether new or retrofitted systems.
Among the products featured are entry-level, medium- and high-power heat pumps from Johnson Controls, as well as entry-level and medium-diversity air conditioners. These new systems feature the latest generation of low-GWP refrigerants. These products have improved functionality, making them faster to install and maintain, and smaller shape points for a less difficult garage and installation, and have been designed to secure certain tax credits and eligible rebates for multi-use applications. The recently introduced diversity of air handling systems includes top power motors for greater energy savings and comfort, similar to our variety of coils. To ensure the protection of our consumers, a refrigerant leak detection sensor is now available in a multi-position form that allows consumers to save stock space through stocking a single model.
The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act calls for an 85% reduction in hydrofluorocarbon gases through 2036. For desktop air conditioners and heat pumps, the final rule sets a limit of 700 GWP for new maximum comfort refrigeration appliances, effective January 1, 2025. The R-454B refrigerant selected through Johnson Controls for residential and advertising duct formula appliances has a GWP score of 466, well below requirements and about 80% relief over traditional refrigerants.
