the latest HVAC developments and trends. According to the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE), HVAC efficiency standards for residential equipment underwent
changes as of April 2014. Read on to learn more about the new 2015 HVAC
standards affecting your family in the coming months from your
air conditioning service professionals.:
New Seasonal Energy Ratio (SEER) Standards
As of 2015, the DEO will hold air conditioners and heat pumps to new SEER
standards. SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, measures the effectiveness
of a system as compared to the energy input required. While a SEER of
13 is the current standard for air conditioners, new units will be required
to have a SEER of 14 or higher. Additionally, heat pumps must now possess
a minimum efficiency of 8.2 HSPF or Heating Seasonal Performance Factor.
FTC EnergyGuide Label
Another change to 2015 HVAC Standards involves the FTC EnergyGuide labeling.
According to the Energy Labeling Rule, HVAC manufacturers are required
to reveal a product’s energy costs and efficiency information on
the tag. In the past, the yellow hang-tags on HVAC systems featured a
single rating point for SEER level. However, according to the new policy,
the labels must include the SEER range for all the condenser’s certified
coil combinations. Moving forward the aggregate SEER for all the system
components must meet current guidelines.
