The Biden administration has finalized new energy efficiency regulations for residential water heaters, a move expected to save American households nearly $7.6 billion annually and cut monthly energy bills. These regulations, described as the administration's biggest step in appliance energy efficiency, will see half of the most commonly sized water heaters switch to heat pump technology by 2029. The Department of Energy, which announced these standards, highlighted that this shift will significantly reduce energy waste, carbon emissions, and pollution, particularly benefiting low income households. Additionally, the administration has introduced improved energy efficiency standards for new housing supported by HUD and USDA, focusing on better insulation, air sealing, and efficient heating and cooling systems.
