Quest Climate Leads the Way: Transitioning to an Eco-Friendly Future with R-454B

Meet Our Energy-Efficient Dehumidifier Lineup

Re-engineered to meet the challenges of the future head-on.

At Quest, we take a forward-thinking approach to innovation. Instead of choosing a short-term solution like R32—only to face another redesign in 2028 due to its higher GWP—we re-engineered every unit we manufacture to work with a more future-proof refrigerant. It was a bigger challenge for our engineering team, but the payoff is clear: our customers get long-term reliability and efficiency, and we can focus on new innovations for them, without worrying about another all-consuming transition in a few years.

Most manufacturers stuck with R32 because designing around 454B is difficult, especially for standard two-coil systems. But with our proprietary, advanced M-CoRR Technology, we overcame those challenges—delivering smarter, more efficient dehumidification solutions that are built to last. After all, we’re not on a quest to do the bare minimum.

With Quest, you’re investing in technology that stays ahead of industry changes and regulations.

R-454B: The Eco-Conscious, High-Performance Refrigerant

Why R-454B is the Future of Sustainable Cooling

R-454B is more than just a replacement for conventional (A1) refrigerants—it’s a leap forward in reducing environmental impact. With a GWP of just 470, R-454B represents a dramatic improvement over R-410A, the previous industry-standard refrigerant, which has a GWP of 2,090 [https://www.epa.gov/snap/substitutes-residential-and-light-commercial-air-conditioning-and-heat-pumps]. This significant reduction in GWP translates into a lower carbon footprint, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change while maintaining the high standards of performance and reliability that our customers expect.

In addition to its environmental benefits, the performance characteristics of R-454B closely match the performance efficiency of R-410A. Quest users can easily transition to the new units without compromising efficiency, cost-effectiveness, or ease of use. Our customers can confidently adopt this new refrigerant, knowing that it supports both their operational needs and sustainability goals.

What This Change Means for Quest Climate Customers

Efficient Performance, Environmentally Responsible

For businesses relying on Quest Climate dehumidifiers, the shift to R-454B means that they can expect comparable or even improved efficiency when compared to models running on R-410A. This transition enhances sustainability without compromising performance, delivering effective dehumidification while reducing emissions. Importantly, this change will not affect existing models or units currently within the distribution network, ensuring a smooth and seamless shift for customers.
