New trends in air conditioning for 2025: efficiency, connectivity, and sustainability

HAIER Aerothermia

Air conditioning is no longer just a matter of comfort. By 2025, new solutions will combine energy efficiency, smart technology and a clear commitment to the environment. In LambásWe'll tell you about the main trends that are transforming the sector and how you can leverage them for your projects.

1. Aerotermia: the queen of energy efficiency

More and more homes and businesses are opting for aerothermal energy as an air conditioning and hot water system. It harnesses the energy of the outside air to heat or cool the interior, with much lower consumption than traditional systems.

Highlighted Advantages:

  • Up to a 75% of renewable energy.

  • Compatible with low-temperature radiators, underfloor heating and fan coils.

  • Real alternative to gas and diesel boilers.

  • Brands like Mitsubishi Electric (Ecodan) or Daikin (Altherma) lead this trend.

2. Connected and intelligent air conditioning

The current user demands total control from your mobile or even by voice. The most modern air conditioning systems integrate:

  • Mobile apps (such as MELCloud or Daikin Oneecta).

  • Compatibility with Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit.

  • Time scheduling, geolocation, and consumption monitoring.

This connectivity allows for more rational use of energy, reducing costs and increasing comfort.

3. Use of more sustainable refrigerants

Traditional refrigerants are being replaced by options with a lower environmental impact. One of the most widely used is R-32, with a global warming potential (GWP) 68% lower than R-410A.

In addition, some manufacturers are already betting on R-290 (propane) in aerothermal and split equipment, thanks to their efficiency and low climatic impact.

4. Adaptive systems with smart sensors

The new splits and indoor units incorporate sensors capable of detecting the presence, position and activity of the occupants. They automatically adjust the flow rate and temperature to maximize comfort with the lowest possible consumption.

Example: the Mitsubishi Electric i-see 3D sensor, which scans the space in real time to adapt the operation of the equipment.

5. Integrated air purification

Concern about air quality has grown. Therefore, many systems now integrate technologies such as:

  • Antibacterial and high-efficiency (HEPA) filters.

  • Ionizers or active purification systems.

  • PM2.5 particle monitoring and automatic ventilation control.

Air conditioning is no longer just about cooling or heating, but also breathe clean and healthy air.

In short: How to take advantage of these trends?

Whether you're an installer, architect, renovator, or distributor, these trends provide a clear roadmap:

✅ Customers increasingly value efficiency, technology, and sustainability.
✅ Manufacturers offer modular, connected, and adaptable solutions.
✅ In Lambás, we help you integrate the best options into your projects, with immediate stock and leading brands such as Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu or Cualix.
