OPINION: Biden’s cold war: Anti-air conditioner regulations keep piling up
Central air conditioners are already impacted while a proposed new regulation for window units is in the early stages, and in both cases the claimed climate change benefits are a big part of the agency’s rationale. Installers say central systems jumped by up to $1,000 when the new rule took effect last Jan. 1, and a total cost of $10,000 is no longer a rarity.
Not to be left out, the EPA has a new proposed regulation that would put additional upward pressure on air conditioner prices by outlawing the most affordable remaining models in 2025. The agency is doing so because - you guessed it – these systems are deemed insufficiently climate friendly. Specifically, they use a refrigerant considered a potent greenhouse gas, while new redesigned systems have been engineered to use more environmentally-benign ones.
President Biden gives Sen. Joe Manchin the pen he used to sign the Inflation Reduction Act as Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer applauds at the White House. Last year’s Inflation Reduction Act extended a $600 tax credit applicable to new systems, but that won’t come close to covering the additional costs resulting from the regulatory onslaught. In fairness to President Biden, the legal authority to go after air conditioners was in place before he took office, and some of the regulations were on the books before he arrived in Washington.
