Gas tankless water heater rule canceled

The law cancels the DOE rule for gas tankless water heaters published December 26, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 105188). The rule has no force or effect as of enactment. Manufacturers and sellers do not have to meet the new efficiency standards from that rule. You may see lower upfront prices, but your gas bill could be higher over time because those efficiency rules were removed.
