Disapproval of new energy efficiency standards for consumer furnaces

This Congressional resolution aims to nullify the Department of Energy's new, stricter energy efficiency standards for residential furnaces. If passed, citizens will not be required to purchase more expensive, high-efficiency furnaces, potentially lowering the initial cost of equipment replacement. This means that current, less energy-efficient furnace models will remain legal for sale and installation.
Key points
The resolution disapproves and voids the Department of Energy's rule on energy conservation standards for consumer furnaces.
Less energy-efficient furnace models will remain available on the market, potentially reducing the upfront cost for consumers replacing heating systems.
No new mandates for citizens to install only the highest efficiency furnace models will take effect.
