As we close the door on 2025, everyone here at BuyComfortDirect.com wants to take a moment to look back with gratitude. It has been a year of massive growth, and that is entirely thanks to you—our loyal customers.

Whether you upgraded to a high-efficiency Goodman furnace, installed a whisper-quiet Solace mini-split, or picked up the specialized HVAC parts needed to keep your home cozy, thank you for trusting us with your comfort.

But while 2025 was great, 2026 is shaping up to be a historic year for the HVAC industry. Here is a look at what we’ve achieved together and the "Future-Proof" changes coming your way.

✨ Reflecting on a Record-Breaking 2025

This past year, we saw a massive shift in how homeowners approach their indoor climate. You didn't just buy air conditioners; you invested in efficiency and air quality.

• The Rise of the Heat Pump: 2025 was officially the "Year of the Heat Pump." Thousands of our customers took advantage of the 25C Tax Credit to switch from traditional gas-only heating to high-efficiency electric and hybrid systems.

• Expansion of Solace: Our Solace line became a fan favorite this year for its innovative side-discharge design, proving that you don't need a massive yard to have a massive impact on your cooling.

• Speed & Reliability: We optimized our shipping routes to ensure that even during the peak summer heatwaves, your replacement parts arrived faster than ever.

? Looking Ahead: The Big HVAC Changes in 2026

If you think 2025 was busy, 2026 is bringing the most significant regulatory shifts the industry has seen in 20 years. At BuyComfortDirect, we are already stocked and ready to lead the transition.

1. The Great Refrigerant Transition

Starting January 1, 2026, the EPA is finalizing the move away from R-410A. The new standard will be A2L Refrigerants (like R-32 and R-454B).

• Why it matters: These new coolants have a much lower Global Warming Potential (GWP).

• What to expect: 2026 systems will feature built-in leak detection sensors and improved safety controls. Don't worry—we will continue to stock parts and reclaimed refrigerant for your existing R-410A systems for years to come.

2. Smarter, Faster, Quieter

In 2026, we are doubling down on Inverter Technology. We are expanding our Goodman and Solace inventory to include even more variable-speed units that learn your habits and adjust their power in real-time, saving you more on your monthly utility bills than ever before.

3. New Federal Incentive Rules

While some 2025 credits are evolving, 2026 will introduce new ways to save. We are working closely with manufacturers to ensure every unit we sell comes with the Product Identification Number (PIN) and documentation you need to claim the latest federal and local rebates.
