This policy applies to residential central air conditioners and heat pumps installed as part of a home's central heating and cooling system. Residential central air conditioners and heat pumps include split system central air conditioners and heat pumps; single package central air conditioners; single package heat pumps; small-duct high-velocity products; and space constrained products.

The minimum performance standard is set within the 10 CFR § 430.32 - Energy and water conservation standards and their compliance dates .

The energy conservation standards defined in terms of the heating seasonal performance factor are based on Region IV, the minimum standardized design heating requirement, and the provisions of 10 CFR 429.16.

Central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps manufactured on or after January 1, 2015, and before January 1, 2023, must have Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor not less than:

(i) Split systems - air conditioners: SEER 13

(ii) Split systems - heat pumps: SEER 14; HSPF 8.2

(iii) Single package units - air conditioners: SEER 14

(iv) Single package units - heat pumps: SEER 14; HSPF 8.0

(v) Small-duct, high-velocity systems: SEER 12; HSPF 7.2

(vi)(A) Space-constrained products - air conditioners: SEER 12

(vi)(B) Space-constrained products - heat pumps: SEER 12; HSPF 7.4

In addition to meeting the applicable requirements above, products that are installed on or after January 1, 2015, and before January 1, 2023, in the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, or Virginia, or in the District of Columbia , must have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 14 or higher. Any outdoor unit model that has a certified combination with a rating below 14 SEER cannot be installed in these States. The least efficient combination of each basic model must comply with this standard.

In addition to meeting the applicable requirements above, products that are installed on or after January 1, 2015, and before January 1, 2023, in the States of Arizona, California, Nevada, or New Mexico must have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 14 or higher and have an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) (at a standard rating of 95 °F dry bulb outdoor temperature) not less than the following:

(i) Split systems - air conditioners with rated cooling capacity less than 45,000 Btu/hr: EER 12.2

(ii) Split systems - air conditioners with rated cooling capacity equal to or greater than 45,000 Btu/hr: EER 11.7

(iii) Single-package units - air conditioners: EER 11.0

Each basic model of single-package central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps and each individual combination of split-system central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps manufactured on or after January 1, 2015, shall have an average off mode electrical power consumption not more than the following:

(i) Split-system air conditioners: 30

(ii) Split-system heat pumps: 33

(iii) Single-package air conditioners: 30

(iv) Single-package heat pumps 33

(v) Small-duct, high-velocity systems 30

(vi) Space-constrained air conditioners 30

(vii) Space-constrained heat pumps 33

The AI Arms Race Isn’t About Technology – It’s About Electricity

Two and a half years ago, NVIDIA was a $300 billion gaming chip company. Today it's the most valuable company in history at over $4 trillion. Investors who saw what was coming and got positioned early made generational money. A $10,000 stake in NVIDIA at the start of 2023 is worth more than $130,000 today. The trade looks obvious in hindsight, but very few investors caught it in real time. Demand for AI compute had exploded, the supply of high-end chips couldn't catch up, and NVIDIA happened to be the only company on earth capable of making what…

Britain’s Energy Crisis Is Driving Manufacturing Offshore

The UK risks a major wave of deindustrialization and widespread factory closures unless the government expands emergency relief measures for manufacturers battling soaring energy costs, a prominent manufacturing trade body has warned, as reported by the Guardian. According to a June 2026 survey by Make UK and the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Britain faces an imminent risk of industrial collapse unless the government provides immediate financial relief to protect manufacturers from surging energy and power bills driven by systemic carbon levies…

Hormuz Crisis Sparks a Middle East Pipeline Boom

The blockading of the Strait of Hormuz was something that was never going to happen—until it did, paralyzing a fifth of global LNG and crude oil flows and causing quite a bit of economic pain to both producers and consumers of energy commodities. Now, they are taking care to never let a disruption of that scale happen again. The most immediate response to Iran’s closure of the strait was switching to alternative pipeline routes for those that had them. Saudi Arabia demonstrated foresight with its East-West pipeline that it used to reroute…

Whatever Happened to the Small Modular Reactor Revolution?

In the early 2020s, there was great enthusiasm around the development of the small modular reactor (SMR), which was expected to support a nuclear renaissance. However, after supply chain disruptions, technical difficulties, and other challenges, it is unclear whether SMR development is progressing as expected. Nevertheless, some companies continue to invest heavily in the technology, hoping it will help drive innovation and expansion in the nuclear power sector. SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors with a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit,…

Equinor Expands Giant Troll Field as Europe Hunts for More Gas

Equinor and its partners are investing more than NOK 4 billion ($390 million) to expand the Troll field, a giant North Sea asset that supplies around 10% of Europe's natural gas and contains 40% of Norway's remaining gas reserves. The project is expected to unlock around 11 billion cubic meters of natural gas, equivalent to roughly 69 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), further strengthening one of Europe's most important sources of energy. Known as TWIN (Troll West Increased Gas Recovery North), the development will consist of two new wells…
