Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US Launches New Low GWP All-Electric, All-Climate Heat Pump Collection

Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC (METUS), a leading supplier of all-electric, all-climate Ductless and Ducted Mini-split and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump and air-conditioning systems, has launched its new, innovative line of products equipped with a low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant.

The high-performing all-climate heat pump product suite, available now, includes new indoor and outdoor residential units in popular series such as FX, GX, and others from Mitsubishi Electric, along with new SMART MULTI units for larger residential, multi-zone, and light commercial applications.

The new products contain R-454B, a next-generation A2L refrigerant with a GWP that is approximately 78% lower than R-410A, increasing efficiency over the prior generation of products, and benefiting the environment. METUS is committed to developing products that utilize low-GWP refrigerants to align with global efforts to phase-down high-GWP refrigerants as mandated by the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act. On Jan. 1, 2025, A2L refrigerants such as R-454B became the new industry standard.

“Our new A2L products meet and even exceed the updated regulatory requirements while providing the same high performance for which Mitsubishi Electric all-electric, all-climate heat pumps are recognized,” said Mark Kuntz, Chief Executive Officer, Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC. “We’re committed to providing distributors and dealers with the products they need to navigate the refrigerant changes confidently and to continue to create comfortable indoor spaces for homes and businesses.”

The latest product updates go beyond just the new refrigerant and include increased efficiency over the prior models, wireless capability, and enhancements to comfort features, like Smart Dry mode. Some of the new all-climate products also now operate at lower temperatures than the previous models – as low as -22^° F – making them the ideal choice for colder climates.
