Industry and Enviros Alike Applaud New Furnace and AC Efficiency Standards
Jun 11, 2011 | Yesterday afternoon, the Department of Energy issued a direct final rule with new energy efficiency standards for residential heating and cooling equipment that have been many, many years in the making. The rule is one of several we’re expecting imminently due to court and statutory deadlines. Of all these standards, yesterday's rule is the big one. Not only are there huge energy (and therefore, dollar) savings at stake, but the standards are supported by the HVAC industry, efficiency and environmental groups, and consumer advocates – groups that do not always sit on the same side of the table. They are also the first ever regional appliance standards set by DOE. When they take effect, the standards will save consumers a net of $18.7 billion cumulatively through 2045 and enough electricity to meet the needs of all the homes in Indiana for 3 years. The standards will also reducing harmful air pollution, including reducing emissions of carbon dioxide by 143 million metric tons over 30 years, and also reducing emissions of mercury and nitrogen oxides.

Does Code require a new furnace to be put in a water catching device ?
May 09, 2006 by jimmy199
had a new furnace installed. Another HVAC contractor came along a said the furnace must be installed in a drip pan per the Code. Is this a code requirement?
Though must places follow the national code, code can vary. Check with the building inspectors at your local court house, code are different from county to county and state to state.
My new furnace was installed with a water pump that pumps the water to the nearest drain. My furnace is in the basement and does not have a drain in the furnace room. I do not think a drip pan is good enough because the A/C will condense a lot of water and burning gas in the winter creates water. If you have a drain in the same room the installer will run a pipe to it, if not then it has to be pumped to the nearest drain.
How much should and new furnace and a/c (installed) cost?
Jun 27, 2007 by newpoint60618
I have a small, one bedroom condo, and need to replace my 34 year old natural gas furnace and 19 year old a/c. How much should I expect to pay to have the old stuff taken out, and to have the new stuff installed? Or could I do it myself?
First of all you can not do this yourself. Their are several specialty tools and gages needed. At a minimum you must be EPA certified to handle the refrigerant in the system. It takes training and Knowledge. As far as price is concerned their are many, many options. For a standard system of your size I would say a good range is between $2500 and $4000 dollars - installed. Any less your probably getting substandard equipment and installation. A higher end system could run well into the $5000 - $6000 range.
