DOE finalizes efficiency rules for fridges and freezers

The Department of Energy released finalized efficiency standards for residential refrigerators and freezers on Friday and proposed a rule that would enforce efficiency standards for commercial fans and blowers — mounting on the efforts by the Biden administration to lessen carbon emissions from appliances while promising cost reductions. These new rules are expected to reduce carbon emissions by nearly 420 million metric tons over 30 years — the equivalent of emissions from nearly 53 million homes, according to DOE estimates. Combined, the rules are expected to provide $5 billion in savings on utility bills.
