NEW DOE Component Requirements
for EPA Refrigerant Regulations
The Department of Energy (DOE) now requires that outdoor unit replacements meet updated energy efficiency standards, affecting single-stage and two-stage air conditioners and heat pumps built after 2024. Because of this, Lennox will no longer build any R-410A air conditioners or heat pumps for the U.S. after Dec. 31, 2024. The decision to manufacture R-410A outdoor units for Canada is still being decided. We anticipate having more information in the coming weeks.
We are committed to providing you with the resources and support you need. If you have any questions, please contact your territory manager or visit the 2025 Compliant Refrigerant Page on LennoxPros for ongoing updates.
