Natural GAS Act of 2023
HR 4395, the Natural GAS Act of 2023, requires the Department of Energy to conduct a comprehensive energy analysis (including full fuel cycle impacts) before setting new efficiency standards for gas water heaters, furnaces, boilers, and kitchen cooktops/ranges/ovens. It mandates that new rules must not cause a significant shift from gas to electric appliances in residential or commercial settings, and requires manufacturers to prominently disclose the analysis results on product labels at point of sale. The bill specifically protects key features of gas appliances (like burner types and grates) and exempts small manufacturers from certain requirements. This affects appliance manufacturers and consumers by adding transparency requirements while preserving gas appliance functionality.
