Natural GAS Act of 2025

The Natural GAS Act of 2025 requires the Department of Energy to conduct a full fuel cycle analysis (referencing a 2009 National Academies report) before setting new energy efficiency standards for residential gas water heaters, furnaces/boilers, and cooktops/ranges/ovens. It mandates that any final rule must certify it won’t cause a significant shift from gas to electric appliances in construction or replacement. Manufacturers must prominently disclose the analysis results on required energy efficiency labels visible to consumers at point-of-sale. The bill exempts small appliance manufacturers (defined in federal regulations) from these requirements.
