This comment on the Department of Energy’s direct final rule amending the energy efficiency standards for residential central air conditioners and heat pumps does not represent the views of any particular affected party or special interest, but is designed to evaluate the effect of DOE’s rulemaking on overall consumer welfare.The Department of Energy’s (DOE) direct final rule amends the existing energy efficiency standards for residential central air conditioners (CACs), specifically split-system CACs, and split-system heat pumps. This direct final rule (DFR) follows a negotiated rulemaking process with the Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ASRAC), which reached a consensus regarding increased efficiency standards for CACs and heat pumps that is codified in this DFR.
