Rheem offers many gas water heaters that meet Energy Star Phase II criteria

摘要

Rheem Water Heating now offers a broad assortment of residential water heaters that meet the new minimum Energy Factor of 0.67 for gas storage models under the second phase of the federal Energy Star program. This more rigorous efficiency requirement became effective Sept. 1, 2010. Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy designed to promote energy efficiency nationwide by making it easier for consumers to identify and purchase energy-saving products, including water heaters. Powered damper technology: Rheem recently unveiled a new, more energy-efficient damper design on both its Professional and Fury series of residential gas-fired water heaters under the Rheem and Ruud labels. This technology enables these water heaters to achieve an EF from 0.67 to 0.69 to meet the minimum requirement of Energy Star Phase II.
