The Biden administration is now setting its sights on commercial fans and blowers in its latest crackdown on appliances in the name of fighting climate change while also finalizing tough new efficiency standards for residential fridges and freezers.

The Department of Energy (DOE) on Dec. 29 released finalized energy efficiency standards for residential refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers, which the administration promised would bring savings to households and environmental benefits.
