A Message from the Founder

This is a challenging year for the HVAC Industry as we transition to a new EPA mandated refrigerant, commonly known as A2L. All roof top HVAC equipment must comply with the new standard beginning with shipments on January 1, 2025.

This new refrigerant requires extensive performance and safety testing to comply with safety standards and codes since A2L refrigerants are slightly flammable. Our users will be pleased to know that all Paragon HVAC units and component selections are being designed and produced with future longevity. We will produce the highest quality A2L rated equipment while still supporting existing R410A equipment, which can be converted to A2L in the future.

At CaptiveAire, we are focused on bringing simplicity to the design by involving the users and design community for simplified sequences of operations (SOO).

Paragon HVAC, provides a comprehensive, fully integrated solution to heating, cooling and dehumidification. This approach also includes air distribution optimization using Air Diffusion Supply Duct for perfect occupant comfort, integrated controls that maximize efficency, System Design verification by factory technicians and Continuous Commissioning (CCx) using CASLink monitoring software.

CCx with CASLink monitors every component, temperature set point and humidity level to ensure a long-lasting solution. CASLink has the capabilities to update software and resolve many issues remotely. It can also identify component issues. Solving traditional challenges for our users is our mission.

This new approach to HVAC provides sustainable comfort including temperature and humidity control with low velocity air distribution using high quality components.
