HONEYWELL AND BOSCH COLLABORATE FOR LOW GLOBAL WARMING HEATING AND COOLING SOLUTIONS

Honeywell announced that Bosch’s newest line of heat pumps will incorporate Honeywell’s energy-efficient Solstice low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant. As part of this collaboration, Bosch technicians will be trained in the safe maintenance and installation of these next-generation low-GWP solutions. The collaboration with Bosch also supports Honeywell’s recently announced plans to align its portfolio around three compelling megatrends, including the energy transition.

Bosch’s Florida Heat Pump series will use Honeywell Solstice^® 454B refrigerant, designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in residential and light commercial heating and air conditioning by 78% compared to traditional refrigerants. With the integration of Honeywell Solstice, Bosch’s heat pumps will be able to use a combination of both electricity and refrigerants to move heat, providing an energy-efficient alternative to heating and cooling via traditional furnaces and air conditioners.

The heating and cooling industry is undergoing a significant change in refrigerants, driven primarily by regulations under the EPA American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act in the United States. To help installers prepare for the transition, Honeywell and Bosch are also partnering together to share important technical information on the refrigerant change, and to ensure technicians know the best practices for safe handling, maintenance and installation of these new refrigerants.
