Check Out Some AC 2025 Trends:

At Fonda’s Plumbing & Heating, we’re always staying ahead of the curve to bring our clients in Red Deer and across Central Alberta the latest and best in home comfort solutions. As we move through 2025, the plumbing and HVAC industry is evolving with new technologies, sustainability initiatives and regulatory changes that impact homeowners and businesses alike. Read on for our AC 2025 trends.

New AC Installation is More Eco-Friendly 

The demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly systems continues to rise. Homeowners are increasingly conscious of their environmental impact and are choosing high-efficiency furnaces, low-flow plumbing fixtures and smart water heaters that reduce waste and save money. We’re also seeing a major increase in demand for energy-efficient AC installs that reduce energy use and improve long-term performance. 

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your cooling system before summer or reduce your household’s carbon footprint, our team can help you explore the best options for air conditioning installation and sustainable HVAC upgrades. According to LinkedIn’s 2025 industry outlook, companies that offer green solutions are seeing increased customer loyalty and long-term savings. 

Smart Technology in HVAC and Plumbing 

Home automation is becoming more advanced and accessible. From programmable thermostats to fully integrated smart HVAC systems, technology is making it easier than ever to control your home’s comfort. These modern systems can learn your habits, optimize energy use and even alert you to maintenance issues before they become costly repairs. 

We specialize in smart AC installations, allowing our clients to cool their homes efficiently with the latest technology. These units are not only quieter and more responsive, but also easier to maintain. A 2025 HVAC industry forecast predicts continued growth in smart home integrations, and we’re ready to help you take advantage of it. 

Changes to HVAC Refrigerants 

One of the biggest updates this year is the federally mandated transition to low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants like R-454B and R-32. These new refrigerants offer improved energy efficiency and a reduced environmental impact, but they require newer, compatible HVAC equipment. If your current AC unit install dates back more than a decade, it may be time to upgrade. 

We’re fully trained in the installation of compliant air conditioning systems, and we can help you choose the right cooling equipment for your home or business. For more information on this important industry shift, check out this overview of the refrigerant transition.
