Biden administration proposes plan to have all Americans pay $350 to upgrade their furnaces so they are ‘energy efficient’ by 2029
- The new rule would require that gas-burning residential furnaces be condensing gas furnaces
- Condensing furnaces which reuse gas and water vapor that normal noncondensing furnaces vent into the atmosphere
- All gas-burning furnaces on the market would have to be converted from condensing to non-condensing by 2029
- The rule is now open for public comment on the Federal Register for the next 60 days before its final consideration
