In this direct final rule, DOE proposes new and amended energy conservation standards with respect to residential central air conditioners and heat pumps. DOE has determined that the amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified. These proposed standards, if adopted, would apply to all products listed in Table I.1 of the Proposed Rulemaking and manufactured in, or imported into, the United States on or after the date three years after January 1, 2023.
