Rinnai educates water heater distributors and contractors on DOE regulations
Tankless water heater manufacturer Rinnai already meets or exceeds all new DOE requirements; no changes necessary to Rinnai’s product portfolio.
In 2010, the United States Department of Energy (DOE), as part of the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA), issued new energy efficiency mandates that require higher Energy Factor (EF) ratings on most residential water heaters and will impact how water heaters are manufactured, as well as how and where they’re installed. These updates will go into effect on April 16, 2015.
“Rinnai is committed to keeping our dealers and distributors educated and informed while the industry transitions to the new Department of Energy mandates,” said Susan Mittelbrun, vice president of marketing at Rinnai. “With decades of technological leadership, all Rinnai tankless water heaters already meet or exceed the new DOE mandates of more-stringent efficiency standards.”
