In 2025, EPA regulations will mandate a change to refrigerants that have a lower global warming potential (GWP). That means a transition from R-410A to R-454B, which has one fourth the GWP of R-410A*. R-454B is in a specific class of refrigerants known as A2L, whereas R-410A is a class A1 refrigerant.
Without going into all the technical details, R-454B offers similar operating temperatures, pressures, and oil compatibility as R-410A – reducing the learning curve associated with the new refrigerant.
However, there are two key precautions that must be taken into account:
R-454B and R-410A (or any refrigerant for that matter) cannot be mixed or cross-contaminated
R-454B, as with all A2L refrigerants (including R-32), has a mildly flammable characteristic – meaning:
(1) a direct flame source and a high concentration of refrigerant is required to create a flame
(2) that if it were to ignite, the flame would likely be unsustainable and
(3) the spread rate would be less than half a mile per hour – slower than a typical walking speed.
These differences do require that additional measures be taken from a servicing perspective to avoid cross contamination and/or make certain no sparks are inadvertently generated.

Lower energy costs with Friedrich
With energy costs consistently rising, it’s more important than ever to help your customers save money on heating and cooling without sacrificing comfort. That’s where Friedrich comes in – The Friedrich Endeavor line includes ENERGY STAR® certified models within the new efficiency standards.
WHY ENERGY STAR? ENERGY STAR certified ducted or ductless air conditioning is an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly way to keep homes comfortable. ENERGY STAR certified air conditioners have higher seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) and energy efficiency ratio (EER) ratings.
WHAT QUALIFIES A SYSTEM AS ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED? Equipment with a 16 SEER rating or above is considered ENERGY STAR certified. Click here to see more helpful information about certification criteria for different kinds of equipment.
WHAT ABOUT HEATING EQUIPMENT? A central air conditioner needs a blower motor – which is usually part of the furnace – to blow the cool air through the duct system. The only way to ensure that your customers’ new air conditioner performs at its rated efficiency is to replace the heating system at the same time. It’s especially recommended if the furnace is over 15 years old. If they purchase a new energy-efficient air conditioner but connect it to an older furnace and blower motor, the system will not perform to its rated efficiency.
ARE THERE REBATES FOR USING ENERGY STAR CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT? Not only can ENERGY STAR certified equipment save customers money on energy costs, they can also earn up to $1,000 in local utility rebates for upgrading to an ENERGY STAR certified system.

Now that summer is winding to an end and fall is upon us, it’s time to start thinking about those yearly maintenance tips you should be discussing with your customers.
Change Air Filters
Over the summer months with the windows open, plenty of dust and outside particles have clogged up the filters which forces the system to run harder. It’s a good idea to replace the air filters regularly to keep the air fresh and clean so suggest new filters on your next service call.
When the season is changing, and the A/C system needs to wind down, it’s advisable to prep the unit for the winter months. Schedule a call with your customers to make sure there are no leaks in the system and that the motor and fan blade are in good condition.
Just as with the A/C unit, making sure that the furnace is ready for the coming winter months is important. If the homeowner has an older system it is worth it to do an evaluation and determine if their system needs an upgrade. In the case that the system is still in good shape, you should try and schedule a fall tune-up with them to make sure that everything is running properly. You should test the airflow and motor as well as inspect the electrical connections.
The thought of unknown and unplanned HVAC related costs can be intimidating. Service rates, replacement parts and systems have a wide range of costs, making it difficult for the homeowner to budget ahead of time. HVAC-related costs can typically be broken down into three categtories:
Maintenance: Offering your customers a maintenance service agreement for preventive maintenance on their HVAC system can prevent minor issues from turning into major, expensive problems over time and could maximize the life of the system. Effectively communicating this value to the homeowners is not only beneficial from a business standpoint, it also helps build trust and an on-going relationship with that customer.
Repair: The cost to repair an HVAC system typically consists of a flat service call fee, the time associated to complete the repair and the specific replacement parts required for the system. Service calls outside regular working hours are generally more expensive than during normal business hours. These are all factors you will want to discuss with the homeowner so they have an accurate idea of the total cost and are not surprised with a larger-than-expected bill.
Replacement: There are multiple factors that come into play when pricing out a full system replacement, including potential upgrades like higher-efficiency units and additional add-ons like in-duct IAQ products. Knowing which products will help the homeowner save money in the long run and increase the life of their brand new system is a great way to show that you are looking out for them.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I NEED TO REPLACE MY OLD SYSTEM?
When you are called out for a system repair, there may be a discussion of whether or not the system needs replacing; or how long the system will continue to last. Things you should discuss with the homeowner include the age of the system, the cost of potential repairs, if they have been experiencing a jump in their utility bills, the efficiency of their system, and how long they plan to live in the home. All of these can have an impact on their decision of when to replace the system so it’s important to have an open discussion about their options.
HOW CAN I SAVE MONEY ON MY UTILITY BILLS?
The more electricity or fuel the household uses, the higher their utility bill will be. So, to cut utility bills, you have to reduce the amount of energy that the home uses. In relation to their HVAC system, here are a few ways you can help educate your homeowner on how to maintain lower energy usage:
Higher-efficiency units
Routine air filter replacement
More advanced, programmable thermostats
Routine maintenance schedule
Connected products for a more efficient home
