Last month, the state of California passed a rule banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035 in their quest to combat climate change. Now, the state has set its sights on the HVAC industry and, more specifically, furnaces and water heaters.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) unanimously voted to approve a proposal that would eliminate the sale of gas-powered furnaces and water heating appliances by 2030. Many in the HVAC industry are not excited by this decision.
