The Biden administration is proposing new energy-efficiency standards for water heaters, requiring electric water heaters to use heat pump technology and gas heaters to use condensing technology. The standards aim to save consumers $11.4 billion on energy and water bills each year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. However, critics argue that the upfront cost of these technologies may not be worth the long-term savings, especially in colder climates.
