INDIANAPOLIS, IN, August 7, 2024 – Against the backdrop of back-to-back regulatory changes impacting the HVAC industry, Carrier is once again taking the opportunity to redesign its systems from the inside out, putting dealers, technicians, and homeowners at the forefront of innovation. Carrier’s latest portfolio relaunch includes the entire lineup of ductless systems; expanding offerings, incorporating new platforms and technologies, and integrating R-454B, Carrier’s refrigerant of choice known commercially as Puron Advance™.
“The 2025 refrigerant phasedown set the timeline, but improving serviceability and installation while maximizing energy-efficiency was the priority,” said Tyler Oehlman, Associate Director, Ductless and VRF Product Management, Carrier. “We’re not just adding to the lineup, we’re improving the full portfolio and helping to establish ductless as a viable, sometimes even preferred, home heating and cooling solution for North America.”
