ORLANDO, Fla. — Feb. 7, 2025 — GE Appliances, a Haier company, Air & Water Solutions will exhibit the latest additions to its extensive residential and commercial HVAC portfolio at the 2025 AHR Expo February 10–12 in Booth #1501. With expanded commercial offerings, a forward-thinking transition to low-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerant products, and enhanced unit compatibility and connectivity, these products highlight the company’s commitment to putting the HVAC professional first by delivering superior efficiency and serviceability.
“We don’t just create products. We design with the pros in mind,” said Robyn Gastol, commercial director of HVAC at GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions. “From creating new flexible solutions to advancing technology that reduces service time, our solutions are engineered to empower HVAC professionals to succeed in a competitive industry.”
Pro-Friendly Transition to A2L Refrigerants
GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions has updated products to meet new industry refrigeration requirements, with most HVAC solutions on the AHR show floor compliant with A2L refrigerants R32 or R454B. Others, such as the company’s multi-refrigerant air handler and evaporator coil models, are R410A-ready and can be easily converted in the field to R454B with required accessories. This allows pros to seamlessly transition to A2Ls, avoid major product changes in the future and maintain their supply throughout the transition period.
Updates to Residential Systems
“As we continue to evolve our residential systems to meet the needs of trade professionals and industry standards, these updates are focused on flexibility and features that they can rely on to help their businesses succeed,” Gastol said.
The latest product updates include the following:
Ducted Inverter Top-Discharge and Connect Series Side-Discharge Heat Pumps: New installation features, such as brazed or braze-less connections and 45-degree service valves, allow pros to install quickly while quiet and reliable performance helps them make the sale. Additionally, new indoor unit compatibility across the Connect product line allows distributors to offer streamlined solutions with over 600 AHRI matches with GE ducted indoor units and third-party models.
Ductless Heat Pumps: These connected units get better over time, with over-the-air updates provided through a new high-speed communication wire and the Smart HQ™ Home and Service app. Consumers can update their product and enjoy new features and modes to enhance comfort, while professionals can quickly access diagnostics for both the indoor and outdoor units. The lineup also enhances the mix and match options with new indoor units that are compatible with a wider variety of outdoor units
Expanded Commercial Offerings
The commitment to the HVAC pro extends to Haier VRF commercial systems, which offer advanced technology to simplify large-scale installation and operations. The new Haier MRV-7 and MRV-7S VRF systems redefine efficiency with features such as:
- Environmentally-friendly R32 refrigerant with six layers of protection to enhance safety, reliability and environmental responsibility.
- New communication technology that enables diverse and flexible wiring configurations while significantly improving fault tolerance, scalability and cost efficiency.
In addition to these exciting innovations, GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of whole-home solutions for residential water heating, filtration and treatment. AHR Expo attendees can meet the team and speak with GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions product experts at Booth #1501.
