US EditionBiden administration updates furnace efficiency standards for first time in 16 years
- The Biden administration has implemented new efficiency rules for residential gas furnaces, which will require non-weatherized gas furnaces and those used in mobile homes to achieve a 95% annual fuel utilization efficiency standard by late 2028.
- These updated standards will phase out older, less efficient furnaces and make newer, more efficient models mandatory, accounting for about a third of all US homes.
- The introduction of these rules has sparked debate over the pace of electrifying home appliances, as the Biden administration and some states support electric heat pumps, while trade associations are concerned about the cost and disruption to consumers.
