New Efficiency Standard = Need for Matched Systems

Installing new HVAC equipment with older, non-compliant units can result in multiple problems.

Starting January 1, 2023, the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) minimum energy efficiency standard goes into effect for all newly manufactured residential and commercial air conditioners and heat pumps. The standard not only increases the minimum efficiency of residential equipment by approximately 7%, but also includes separate efficiency standards and installation requirements for central air conditioners sold in the northern and southern parts of the U.S. Contractors in southern states will need to pay particular attention to the installation requirements, as installation of air conditioners is not permitted after December 31, 2022, unless their EnergyGuide labels meet the new 2023 SEER/EER minimums.

Great Round Of EWC Trainings In Montana

We drove the state of Montana and 9 days later and 1,100+ miles of driving and different cities every night - we trained a lot of contractors and distributor employees on the great benefits of the EWC product line and importance of zoning.

Training zoning throughout Montana.

Zoning divides your home into areas with common heating and cooling requirements. Each zone is controlled by its own thermostat, allowing you to be comfortable no matter where you are in your home. Zoning also allows you to leave unoccupied areas without heating or cooling, saving you more money on energy costs. In addition, EWC’s ULTRA-ZONE system can be used with a variety of programmable thermostats.
