Solstice® HFO Refrigerants make decarbonising residential cooling easier

The rapid deployment of heat pumps is integral to the energy strategies of the Middle East, particularly in the context of achieving net-zero targets. Households across the region significantly contribute to final energy consumption, with a considerable portion allocated to space cooling. In this scenario, Honeywell Solstice® HFO refrigerants emerge as a compelling solution across the residential landscape. Forward-thinking heat pump manufacturers can leverage these refrigerants for a cost-effective transition to decarbonize home cooling systems. Homeowners, in turn, have the opportunity to replace conventional cooling methods with an eco-friendly alternative. Moreover, installers benefit from a solution that ensures safe implementation and maintenance, aligning with the unique demands of the Middle East and its emphasis on district cooling.

Why choose Solstice® HFO Refrigerants for residential cooling?

Reduces application costs

Designing a heat pump based on Solstice refrigerant is less expensive than developing one using propane.

Provides application flexibility

Solstice® HFO refrigerants based heat pumps can be used across most heat pump applications and property types.

Increases safety

Classed as A2L (mildly flammable), Solstice® HFO refrigerants are safer to install and service than A3 (highly flammable)-classed propane.

Boosts energy efficiency

Heat pump systems using Solstice® HFO refrigerants can be optimized to be more efficient than propane heat pumps, reducing their lifetime cost.
