The Department of Energy is expected to finalize stringent efficiency requirements that would eliminate up to 60% of current home gas furnace models from the market.
"This is a classic example of one size not fitting all," Ben Lieberman, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Every home is different, every homeowner is different and people are best off having a wide range of choices. They can work with their contractor to make the best decision for their home and their circumstances." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"The efficiency standard would effectively outlaw non-condensing furnaces and condensing alternatives would be the only ones available," Lieberman said. "Those are more efficient, but they cost more. And installation costs could be a big problem for some houses that are not compatible with condensing furnaces."
