Consumers may know heating and cooling units are a major contributor to their overall utility bills and that their equipment’s efficiency matters, but terms like 14 SEER don’t translate to anything relatable.
At the AHR Expo, a panel of HVACR industry experts discussed the refrigerant transition and supply chain issues, as well as the labor shortage and the new efficiency standard.
Companies that deal in surplus HVAC equipment are seeing business opportunities in the new U.S. DOE energy efficiency minimums for single-phase residential air-conditioners.
The IRA is yet another example — along with various local and state rebates, revolving loans, grants, tax credits, etc. — of our country’s steps toward decarbonization through electrification.
As of January 2023, the DOE’s minimum energy efficiency requirements go into effect for all newly manufactured residential and commercial air conditioners and heat pumps.
In a new survey, Emerson followed up with HVAC contractors and wholesalers about their knowledge of and preparation for increasing federal minimum SEER/IEER efficiency requirements mandated for a/c systems and heat pumps.
Two major HVAC industry organizations have weighed in on a DOE proposal that would phase out noncondensing gas furnaces for consumer use beginning in about six years.
