The 2023 LIW program has an HVAC efficiency subprogram with a budget of $500,000. To qualify, air conditioners and heat pumps must meet the following energy efficiency requirements:
Type of HVAC System | Energy Efficiency Requirements |
---|---|
Air conditioner, split type, nameplate capacity below 45,000 BTU/h | Minimum SEER2 = 14.3 |
Minimum EER2 = 11.5 | |
Air conditioner, split type, nameplate capacity of 45,000 BTU/h or higher | Minimum SEER2 = 13.8 |
Minimum EER2 = 11.5 | |
Air conditioner, single package | Minimum SEER2 = 13.4 |
Minimum EER2 = 11.5 | |
Heat pump, split type | Minimum SEER2 = 14.3 |
Minimum EER2 = 11.5 | |
Minimum HSPF2 = 7.5 | |
Heat pump, single package | Minimum SEER2 = 13.4 |
Minimum EER2 = 11.5 | |
Minimum HSPF2 = 6.7 |
*These conditions apply for both the Low-Income Weatherization (LIW) Program and the Home Energy Efficiency (HEE) Program.
Note: SEER2, EER2 and HPSF2 refer to energy efficiency metrics determined under the new testing requirements that took effect in January 2023. They have replaced the older SEER, EER and HSPF ratings.
