SUSTAINABILITY

Every time we embark on designing a new product or enhancing an existing one, we are mindful of the environmental implications. We establish stringent environmental performance targets and leverage cutting-edge innovations to build the most sustainable, energy-efficient, comfort solutions to homeowners around the world.

Electrification involves substituting fossil fuel or natural gas burning equipment with electric equipment, such as Bryant heat pumps or ductless units. Heat pumps, for instance, have the potential to slash carbon dioxide emissions by 38-53% over a 15-year span and decrease the 20-year global warming potential by 53-67% compared to a gas furnace.¹ Moreover, high-efficiency electric units can help offer consumers significant utility cost savings.

HVAC systems utilizing refrigerants with higher GWP ratings may contribute to carbon emissions due to refrigerant leaks into the atmosphere. Bryant’s preferred refrigerant, Puron Advance™, stands as the optimal solution for reducing environmental impact and energy consumption, as it boasts a low-to-no GWP rating.

We understand the significance of adopting greener practices, and investing in a high-efficiency HVAC system can be a crucial step toward achieving this objective. At Bryant, we are dedicated to ensuring your complete comfort, which is why we offer flexible financing options with convenient monthly payments.⁴ Explore how Bryant’s EcoHome™ program can assist you in maximizing savings under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 while enhancing sustainability. Additionally, take advantage of potential local utility rebates on select products to alleviate the overall cost of installing a new heating and cooling system.

Air-source heat pump technology has undergone significant advancements over the past two decades, resulting in enhanced indoor comfort year-round, regardless of region. Our top-tier heat pumps deliver efficient heating even in freezing conditions. Depending on the model, Bryant heat pumps boast ENERGY STAR^® certified efficiencies and incorporate cutting-edge comfort technologies.

VRF systems link multiple indoor evaporator units to a single outdoor condensing unit. These high-efficiency, all-electric systems offer personalized comfort zoning while reducing energy waste linked to traditional forced-air systems. Distinguished from ductless mini-split systems, VRF systems adjust refrigerant flow to each evaporator unit, delivering simultaneous heating and cooling to different areas.

Since transitioning from a gas furnace to an all-electric solution can present challenges for many homeowners, we offer dual-fuel systems, or HYBRID HEAT^® systems as a practical compromise. These systems often entail lower costs than converting an entire home to all-electric. Replacing an older air conditioner with a heat pump can decrease a home's carbon footprint by lessening reliance on gas or propane heating. By combining an electric heat pump with a gas furnace, the system optimizes efficiency by alternating between the two heat sources based on outdoor temperatures.
