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

Saudi Pipeline Outage Hits an Oil Market Running Out of Buffers

The war in Iran that had to be over and won by the United States in about six weeks is now in its seventh month and the oil markets are starting to crack. Gone are most of the cushions the market had in the early weeks and months of the Middle East conflict. The oversupply from early this year has disappeared as oil on water was drawn down quickly when the Strait of Hormuz was closed to tanker traffic in March. Record stock releases led by the International Energy Agency (IEA) depleted strategic inventories in developed economies, including in…

Chinese Solar Panels Drop to 12 Cents a Watt, Rooftop Installs Surge Worldwide

Chinese-made photovoltaic panels cost 12 cents a watt in 2026, down from $5-$6 at the turn of the millennium, and that price collapse is now powering rooftop solar installations from Pakistani cement plants to Philippine homes and Australian suburbs, according to the Financial Times. A Pakistani cement giant has cut its power costs by up to 40% with solar at its production sites, and rooftop solar capacity in the Philippines has nearly doubled in a year. At the same time, Africa is on pace to install record gigawatts, and Australia has installed…

Hormuz Risk Opens $40-Plus Price Gap Between Crude Grades

Back in late June, after the United States and Iran agreed to cease hostilities in the Persian Gulf for 60 days, oil prices took a dive. Two months later, Brent is trading at over $107 per barrel, and WTI is moving closer to $103, as a deep chasm opens up between the price for oil stuck in the Gulf and oil that can be moved with no threat of a drone or missile attack. Iraq, OPEC’s number-two producer, has suffered some of the most severe disruptions in its oil industry because of the war between the U.S. and Israel, and Iran. The country…

U.S. Oil Inventories Jump as Cushing Stocks Keep Falling

The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated that crude oil inventories in the United States rose by a very large 7.14 million barrels in the week ending September 11. In the week prior, US crude oil inventories fell by 300,000 barrels. Commercial crude oil inventories excluding the SPR have lost just over 41 million barrels over the last 22 weeks, with US crude inventories up nearly 10 million for the year, according to API data, kept in check by draws from the SPR. For the week ending September 11, another 400,000 barrels left the SPR to…

Sam Altman Is Selling Utilities the Cure for a Cyberattack His Own AI Helped Cau

The artificial intelligence boom is driving a new wave of autonomous cyberattacks, posing a major and growing threat to critical infrastructure, including the energy grid. Ninety percent of state government chief intelligence officers recently reported that cyberattacks on critical services – including threats to water and wastewater systems, hospitals, transportation, and energy and communication networks – is a matter of great concern, according to a new report from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers and…
