Company: Oxbox

Product: Split System R-454B Product Line

Description: With the U.S. federal government requiring all residential HVAC equipment to use refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 700 starting in January 2025 and the HVAC industry shifting toward more sustainable practices, the launch of Oxbox’s new Split System R-454B refrigerant product line represents a crucial step in the company’s efforts to protect climate and reduce hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions. A Refrigerant Detection Sensor (RDS) and Mitigation Control Board (MCB) will be provided with every air handler and coil. The adoption of R-454B refrigerant in Oxbox’s new product line is designed to help mitigate the environmental risks and impacts associated with traditional refrigerants, like R-410A, which operates at high pressure and poses an increased risk of environmentally harmful leaks during maintenance and repairs. By contrast, the Oxbox Split System R-454B is a low-GWP refrigerant that enhances energy efficiency for HVAC systems, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The revamped Oxbox product line will offer air conditioners, heat pumps, air handlers and coils, with packaged systems being released in 2025.
