The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a pre-publication Federal Register notice pertaining to energy conservation standards for consumer furnaces. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) requires DOE to determine periodically whether more stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this final rule, DOE is adopting amended standards for consumer furnaces, specifically non-weatherized gas furnaces and mobile home gas furnaces. DOE has determined that the amended standards for the subject products would result in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified.
- The text of this rule is subject to correction based on the identification of errors as defined in 10 CFR 430.5 before publication in the Federal Register. Readers are requested to notify DOE by email at ErrorCorrectionInfo@EE.DOE.Gov of any typographical or other errors, as described in such regulations, by no later than midnight on November 13, 2023, in order that DOE may make any necessary corrections in the regulatory text submitted to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
- The effective date of this rule is 60 days after the notice has been published in the Federal Register. DOE will send a follow-up e-mail once the notice publishes to announce the effective date.
- Compliance with the amended standards established for the subject consumer furnaces in this final rule is required on and after 5 years after the notice has been published in the Federal Register. DOE will send a follow-up e-mail once the notice publishes to announce the effective date.
- Find product information for Consumer Furnaces including current standards and test procedures, statutory authority, waivers, exceptions and contact information.
