Okay So i'm going to look fror an R-454B designed system. Are there any characteristics in these new chemicals that make them more efficient? Or is it like an "eco friendly" HE washing machine or low flush toilet that makes you wish you had the older stuff? Honeywell came up with R-466A which is non-flammable as opposed to the flammable R-454A stuff, so maybe there will still be a choice. People worry about potential fire hazards of 454.
