Legacy Air Conditioners cannot be installed in the Southeast and Southwest DOE AC Regions.
WHAT IS CHANGING
The new “M1” standard changes how cooling systems are tested by the manufacturer and agencies, prompting the need for the new SEER2, EER2, and HSPF2 performance metrics.
If only efficiency changed, Split System SEER minimums basically increase by 1-point.
Packaged system minimums did not change, but they must also use the new performance metrics.
PREPARE FOR CHANGES WITH REVOLV
The new “South” line of split system condensers will be released by the end of Q3-2022 so you can start winding down inventory of current models, and order new models to stock ahead of the 2023 deadline.
New models have also been designed to be compliant with UL 60335-2-40 HVACR Electrical Safety Standard, set to become effective 1/1/2024.
New Revolv “South” AC condensers can be installed in both Southeast AND Southwest DOE Regions, to minimize stocking items.
WHAT THESE CHANGES MEAN
14 SEER Revolv Split System Air Conditioners CANNOT be installed in the Southeast and Southwest DOE regions after 12/31/2022.
14 SEER Revolv Packaged Air Conditioners CANNOT be installed in the Southwest DOE region after 12/31/2022.
13 SEER Revolv Split System Air Conditioners manufactured prior to 1/1/2023 can continue to be installed in the North DOE region, indefinitely.
Revolv Packaged and Split System Heat Pumps manufactured prior to 1/1/2023 can continue to be installed nationally, indefinitely.
When a condenser is installed or replaced, the entire split system must then meet the latest DOE minimum efficiency (by product style & region), while an indoor coil-only is only considered a replaceable service component.
