Rep. Thomas Massie calls out Biden energy officials for new water heater standards
The Kentucky Republican told the DOE to “leave us alone” in response to the proposed requirement that most electric heaters use heat pump technology and most gas-fired instantaneous water heaters use condensing technology.
“There’s ‘no free lunch’ from these water heaters in the winter,” Mr. Massie went on. “But on-demand water heaters make hot water as needed, avoiding heat losses from a big tank. Depending on personal circumstances, cheaper on-demand heaters might be more economical than mandated heaters.” The department said consumers would save an average of $1,868 over the lifespan of their water heater. Most water heaters last between eight to 12 years.
The proposed rule came days after Geraldine Richmond, the DOE under-secretary for science and innovation, was grilled by GOP lawmakers over the notion that the White House was attempting to ban gas stoves.
