ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has submitted public comments to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), opposing mandates to replace noncondensing furnaces with condensing furnaces.
The DOE sought out input on imposing energy conversion standards that would make atmospherically vented (noncondensing) gas products, such as furnaces and water heaters, unavailable and asked for comments on the impact that a mandated switch to noncondensing products would have on consumers.
