When something goes wrong with your HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system, you may find yourself dealing with a technician who uses terminology you don’t understand when all you want to do is get things working again.

New Water Heater Rule Starting April 16 – What It Means For You

waterheater

The new U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) energy standards for residential water heaters became effective April 16 of this year. The new standards, which amend the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA), require higher energy factor (EF) ratings on just about all home water heaters that are electric, gas or oil-fired.

As an Orlando HVAC contractor, we are pleased that the DOE has projected that the new standards will save 2.58 quads of energy through 2043. That savings, according to the DOE, is enough to provide a year’s worth of energy to about 13 million homes. Further, according to the agency, the new standards will cut carbon dioxide emissions by 154 million metric tons.
