Executive summary

Issues

Energy efficiency is a means to strategically enhance energy security, climate action, affordability for Canadian households, businesses, and industrial sectors, and trade. Canada’s building sector (including homes, commercial and institutional buildings) and industrial sector are a significant contributor to Canada’s total energy consumption and GHG emissions. Regulating the energy use of products is one of the most cost-effective tools available to the Government to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions and help Canadians save on energy-related costs.

In today’s economic and geopolitical climate, strengthening energy efficiency standards of products is necessary to pursue Canada’s domestic energy efficiency policies of achieving the goals of (1) supporting affordability by saving money for Canadian consumers, businesses, institutions, and industries; (2) contributing to a more competitive, sustainable, and resilient economy; (3) leveraging energy efficiency as a strategic, low-cost manner to mitigate the impacts of increasing electric grid demands across Canada and support energy security; (4) achieving GHG emission reductions; and (5) facilitating trade within Canada and across North America, through the use of a set of consistent, national level standards to which dealers (including manufacturers and importers) must comply. The current regulations also contain some outdated standards which need to be removed to support the government red-tape initiatives.

Without Amendment 19, demand on Canada’s electricity grid would be higher, the lowest performing energy-using products would continue to be sold in Canada’s market, and Canadians and businesses would not reap the benefits of cost savings generated through adoption of more efficient products.

Background

In 1992, Parliament passed the Energy Efficiency Act, giving Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) the authority to regulate energy efficiency standards, testing standards, prescribed information, and labelling of energy-using products. The Energy Efficiency Act has since been amended in 2009 and 2017 and is undergoing modernization through Bill S-4 to provide new authorities to reflect the evolving marketplaces (see LEGISinfo S-4).

In 1995, the Energy Efficiency Regulations came into force to reduce energy consumption in Canada. In 2016, the Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016 (Regulations) replaced the original Energy Efficiency Regulations to remove references to obsolete and out-of-date standards and improve the organization of the regulatory text.

Since 1995, there have been 18 Governor-in-Council regulatory amendments published in the Canada Gazette to keep up with technology improvements and remove the worst performing products from Canada’s marketplace. There are currently over 70 energy-using products subject to the Regulations. Today, the Regulations continue to reduce energy consumption in Canada and remain a key tool to:

• Save money for Canadian consumers, businesses, institutions, and industries.
• Contribute to a more competitive, sustainable, and resilient economy.
• Support energy security through reductions in electricity grid demands.
• Set a level playing field for efficient products nationwide, reducing trade barriers for energy-using products across interprovincial and international borders.
• Reduce GHG emissions and contribute to efforts to minimize climate change.

The Regulations have an outsized positive impact on energy savings, GHG emission reductions, and cost savings for households and businesses at low cost to government. From the inception of the Energy Efficiency Regulations in 1995 to the latest Regulations (Amendment 18) published in April 2025, the following results will be achieved:

• The energy efficiency gains made by 2030 will be equivalent to powering all of Canada’s approximately 16 million existing households for approximately 6 years, increasing to 13 years by 2050 (based on residential energy consumption in 2023).
• Cumulative savings of approximately $214 billion (in 2023 dollars) by 2030 on utility bills from residential, commercial and industrial sectors.

Objective

The objectives of Amendment 19 are to:

• Reduce energy consumption associated with various energy-using products used in homes, businesses, institutions, and industries.
• Support Canada’s energy security needs through reductions in electricity grid demands from identified energy-using products.
• Set a level playing field for dealers through a strong set of national energy efficiency standards.
• Ensure that the standards from other jurisdictions that are incorporated by reference in the Regulations are maintained as intended, regardless of potential future actions taken by a jurisdiction.
• Reduce red tape burden associated with outdated standards and fragmented regulatory text.

Description

Amendment 19 seeks to achieve the maximum energy savings that are both technologically and economically feasible at this time. It would add or update energy efficiency requirements for several new and currently regulated energy-using products, focussing on key changes that would support Canada’s affordability, competitiveness, internal and external trade, energy security, and climate change objectives. Amendment 19 would also support the government red tape reduction efforts by removing references to obsolete and out-of-date standards and by improving the organization of the regulatory text, making it easier for regulated parties to find and understand the requirements that apply to their products. The regulatory text at the end of this document should be consulted for a complete list of the proposed changes. In summary, Amendment 19 would:

The new requirements would apply to household products starting on January 1, 2032, and to commercial products starting on January 1, 2028.

Gas-fired storage water heaters

For household gas-fired storage water heaters, Amendment 19 would adopt the energy efficiency standards in the CFR. For commercial gas-fired storage water heaters, Amendment 19 would adopt the energy efficiency standards in the CFR, remove the differentiation between the energy efficiency standards for replacement and non-replacement units, and incorporate by reference the corresponding CFR testing standard, as amended from time to time. The new requirements would apply to household products starting on January 1, 2032, and to commercial products starting on January 1, 2028.

Gas furnaces (commercial)

Amendment 19 would expand the scope of gas furnaces to remove the upper input capacity limit of 117.23 kW (400,000 Btu/h). Amendment 19 would adopt the energy efficiency standards in the CFR and incorporate by reference the corresponding CFR testing standard, as amended from time to time, for commercial gas furnaces, other than gas furnaces for relocatable buildings or replacement non-condensing gas furnaces. The new requirements would apply starting on January 1, 2028.

Gas ranges

Amendment 19 would adopt the energy efficiency standards in the CFR and incorporate by reference the corresponding CFR testing standard, as amended from time to time, as the only testing option. This would add performance standards for gas cooking products, remove the energy efficiency standard related to the continuously burning pilot light for gas cooking tops, and add a prescriptive standard to remove continuously burning pilot lights for gas portable indoor cooking tops. Also, Amendment 19 would phase out the current labelling requirements in harmonization with the United States. The new requirements would apply starting on January 31, 2028.

Ground-source heat pumps

Refrigerators and combination refrigerator-freezers

Amendment 19 would adopt the energy efficiency standards in the CFR and incorporate by reference the corresponding CFR testing standard, as amended from time to time, as the only testing option (removing the CSA standard). The new requirements would apply starting on January 31, 2029, or January 31, 2030, depending on the product type.

(c) Allow regulated parties to voluntarily comply with the new requirements earlier by including an early compliance option

Amendment 19 would include provisions allowing regulated parties to voluntarily comply with new requirements at least one year before the requirements become mandatory. Such provisions would help expedite products into the Canadian market that meet the new requirements, thereby allowing Canadians to start saving money and energy sooner. Products with such a provision are clothes washers, integrated clothes washer-dryers, dishwashers, freezers, refrigerators and combination refrigerator-freezers, and ranges (cooking product). For more information see the section “Implementation, compliance and enforcement, and service standards.”

(d) Support trade and improve regulatory implementation

For ceiling fans, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to correct the reference to the energy efficiency standards in the CFR to maintain harmonization with the U.S. efficiency metric, i.e. the Ceiling Fan Energy Index (CFEI). Thus, the energy efficiency standards would be split between large-diameter ceiling fans and ceiling fans other than large-diameter ceiling fans. As a result, two more data would be collected for large diameter ceiling fans: CFEI at high speed and CFEI at 40% of high speed or the nearest speed that is not less than 40% of high speed.

For central air conditioners and central heat pumps, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to the prescribed information, requiring the equipment category used in testing and calculation of the reported efficiency metrics to be reported.

For commercial electric water heaters, Amendment 19 would expand the scope of the product to include commercial electric instantaneous water heaters. Also, Amendment 19 would adopt the energy efficiency standards in the CFR and incorporate by reference the corresponding CFR testing standard, as amended from time to time, for commercial electric water heaters, including commercial electric instantaneous water heaters and household-duty electric commercial water heaters. The new requirements would apply starting on January 1, 2028.

For commercial oil-fired water heaters, Amendment 19 would introduce hot water supply boilers as a commercial water heater product class alongside commercial instantaneous oil-fired water heaters. Amendment 19 would incorporate by reference the testing standard in the CFR, as amended from time to time. The new requirements would apply starting on January 1, 2028.

For external power supplies, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to remove the CSA testing standard, as an alternative to the CFR testing standard, to maintain harmonization with the U.S. standard. The energy efficiency requirements would also be corrected by removing an unnecessary specification, as all security external power supplies should be treated as regular external power supplies after July 1, 2017.

For gas fireplaces, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to update the reference to the latest version 2024 of the CSA testing standard starting on January 1, 2029.

For general service fluorescent lamps, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to correct an error in the reference for the energy efficiency standards in the CFR and an error in the energy efficiency standard requirements.

For general service lamps, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to labelling requirements to allow dealers to use the NRCan in-house design label without modifications.

For household electric water heaters, Amendment 19 would introduce heat pump water heaters, adopt the energy efficiency standards in the CFR and reference the corresponding testing standard in the CFR, as amended from time to time. The new requirements would apply starting on January 1, 2028.

For internal water loop heat pumps, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to clarify the reference to the CSA standard.

For large condensing units, Amendment 19 would update the reference to the latest 2017 version of a CSA testing standard.

For line voltage thermostats, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to prescribed information to add an item to the list of required data, i.e. the calculated standard error at the minimum, average and maximum temperatures.

For miscellaneous refrigeration products, Amendment 19 would make minor changes to prescribed information by adding the total refrigerated volume.

For small electric motors, Amendment 19 would update the references to the latest 2022 version for two CSA testing standards.

For televisions, Amendment 19 would update the definition of the product to more fully harmonize with the U.S. network-connected TVs, and incorporate by reference the corresponding CFR testing standard for network-connected TVs, as amended from time to time. The new requirements would apply starting on September 11, 2027.

For energy-using products specified for the purpose of ministerial regulations, Amendment 19 would update the Regulations to ensure the Minister can exercise the ministerial regulations authority to maintain harmonization of requirements with another jurisdiction. The following products would be added to the list in section 11.1 of prescribed products (where the terms household water heaters and commercial water heaters would replace the term water heaters, and the term cooking products would replace the term gas ranges):

• Air cleaners
• Commercial water heaters
• Computer room air conditioners
• Cooking products
• Household water heaters
• Pool heaters
• Pool pump motors
• Televisions

For standards of other jurisdiction incorporated by reference, Amendment 19 would clarify the protection against potential backsliding of the jurisdiction that could cause the Regulations to no longer work as intended. For instance, energy efficiency standards incorporated by reference would continue to apply at their current level if another jurisdiction subsequently reduced its requirements.

(e) Support the government red tape reduction initiative

Amendment 19 would remove reference to outdated standards and associated requirements to reduce the length of the regulatory text and make it easier for stakeholders to understand the requirements. This would automatically apply to most currently regulated products, ensuring that only the most recent standards remain in the Regulations and apply to all regulated products, regardless of the period of manufacture. Approximately 300 outdated standards and associated requirements would be removed. Those changes would be implemented one year after publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II for all products, with some exceptions for select Amendment 19 products. More information is provided in the section “Implementation, compliance and enforcement, and service standards.” NRCan welcomes input on the proposed approach and when those changes would be implemented to ensure that the proposal reduces burden.

Amendment 19 would also group the following product by function to facilitate the search for energy efficiency standards, testing standards and other requirements:

• Electric clothes dryers and new regulated gas clothes dryers would be grouped under one subdivision, called clothes dryers (as opposed to creating an additional subdivision).
• All household water heaters (including new regulated household heat pump water heaters) and all commercial water heaters would be grouped under two subdivisions, called household water heaters and commercial water heaters (as opposed to the current four subdivisions).
• Electric ranges and gas ranges would be grouped under the same subdivision, called cooking products (as opposed to the current two subdivisions).
• Pool pumps and new regulated pool pump motors and pool heaters would be grouped under one division, called pool products (pool pumps would be transferred from the pumps division).

Considerations

For some products, updates to energy efficiency and testing standards are made even when the market is already compliant. This ensures the most current testing procedures are used, prevents less efficient products from entering Canada, and supports the collection of useful energy-efficiency data as the market grows. This is the case for heat pump water heaters, electric water heaters, and commercial oil-fired water heaters.

The use of ambulatory incorporation by reference of standards from another jurisdiction throughout Amendment 19 ensures that harmonization is maintained without disruption. Ambulatory incorporation by reference provides certainty to industry, reduces trade impacts and the need for double testing, and minimizes barriers and costs for regulated parties to serve both markets. Section 1.1 of the Regulations and the proposed clarifying changes above would ensure that Canada’s energy efficiency policy intentions would be maintained in situations where standards that are incorporated by reference from another jurisdiction are repealed or reduced by the jurisdiction and Canada does not intend to backslide with the respective jurisdiction.

Canada continuously monitors the standards of other jurisdictions that are incorporated by reference. If a proposed incorporation in Amendment 19 is repealed or reduced before publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II, NRCan may consider alternatives to ambulatory incorporation.

Regulatory development

Consultation

Stakeholders, including regulated parties, consumers, and other interested parties were informed of the changes being considered in Amendment 19 and were provided opportunities to comment at several points from 2022. Overall, stakeholders were generally supportive of the approach despite some concerns. Groups that were informed include, but are not limited to, manufacturers, distributors, importers, retailers supplying the Canadian market, industry associations, Indigenous partners, federal departments, energy utilities supplying energy in Canada, certification bodies, custom brokers, consumer associations using regulated energy-using products, contractors, builders, energy efficiency advocates and non-governmental advocacy organizations, and other interested stakeholders who have signed to our mailing list (see Subscribe to Regulations updates). The key activities used to communicate details to, and gather comments from, the stakeholder community about Amendment 19 are outlined below.

Information about publications and webinars has been distributed to stakeholders via targeted emails to over 6 000 stakeholders. In turn, many of these individuals and organizations forwarded this information, providing access to a large audience of stakeholders. The main publications and webinars made available include:

• Notices of intent: In 2022 and 2023, notices of intent were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, to inform stakeholders of NRCan regulatory plans on household appliances.
• Forward Regulatory Plan: In April 2024, NRCan first indicated its intention to move forward with Amendment 19 in its Forward Regulatory Plan, which was reaffirmed in September 2025 (see Amendments to Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016, under Forward Regulatory Plan: 2026 to 2028).
• Technical bulletin: In June 2024, technical bulletins were published for gas-fired furnaces (commercial), televisions, electric motors, ranges, air cleaners, gas clothes dryers, computer room air conditioners, pool heaters and pool pump motors, uninterruptible power supplies, recovery ventilators, heat pumps, and commercial water heaters to collect stakeholder views on the requirements being considered.
• Webinar: Between June and November 2024, webinars were hosted with stakeholders to discuss the content of the technical bulletins and sought input on Amendment 19 and potential implications for any subset of the population.

NRCan held additional meetings with the main manufacturers’ associations impacted by Amendment 19 to further inform them about the content of Amendment 19. NRCan also met with other partners, including Indigenous partners, national and international departments, agencies and committees, to discuss the potential impact of Amendment 19.

Stakeholders will continue to be informed of progress via notices in targeted mailouts and will be invited to contribute at several points during the regulatory development process. NRCan also conducts the following activities to inform stakeholders and gather their feedback and advice on regulatory policy:

• Updates of the Energy Efficiency Regulations web page of the NRCan website where stakeholders can find up-to-date information about energy efficiency standards in Canada.
• Ongoing bilateral discussions with major industry associations to discuss regulatory changes.
• Ongoing monthly meeting with provinces and territories to discuss federal and provincial regulations.

Summary of comments received from impacted parties

The following elaborates only where there were substantive discussions, describing how those discussions were taken into account in the development of Amendment 19.

Comments that apply to a few products

Concern: Third-party verification

• Comment: Regulated parties requested a reconsideration of third-party verification requirements for air cleaners and uninterruptible power supplies.
• Response: It is not uncommon for regulated parties to be concerned about the potential for additional costs associated with third-party verification of newly regulated products. In general, past experience has demonstrated that concerns about third-party verification requirements are alleviated once regulated parties are provided with more information and certification bodies begin to offer verification programs for newly regulated products. NRCan has maintained the use of third-party verification as the means of assessing compliance for all products to provide a level of independence, transparency, and credibility to the regulatory program. To reduce compliance burden, a manufacturer’s own laboratory can be used to test a product provided that it satisfies the requirements of the certification body.

Concern: Timing for the application of requirements

• Comment: Some industry associations and manufacturers asked for more time before the requirements for uninterrupted power supplies, televisions, and heat pump water heaters come into force.
• Response: NRCan has updated the period applicable for new requirements to January 1, 2028, for uninterrupted power supplies, September 11, 2027, for televisions, January 1, 2028, (with an early compliance option) for household heat pump water heaters.

Concern: Digital labelling

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate recommended NRCan to consider including a new requirement for digital EnerGuide labels for all appliances.
• Response: The Regulations currently require physical labelling and do not provide the authority to mandate digital-only labelling. However, the modernization of the Energy Efficiency Act specifically considers the introduction of digital labelling as a potential new authority to consider in the future.

Air cleaners

Concern: Labelling

• Comment: The Home Appliance Manufacturers asked to improve labelling through more flexible formats and clearer energy metrics.
• Response: To effectively communicate energy performance information, all air cleaners would be required to carry an EnerGuide label that would be generally harmonized with the proposed U.S. EnergyGuide labels (once finalized in the United States). NRCan will continue to monitor the Federal Trade Commission’s EnergyGuide label rulemaking process and work to minimize unnecessary inconsistencies while ensuring that the EnerGuide label provides clear and consistent information to Canadian consumers.

Commercial water heaters

Concern: Definition

• Comment: Multiple commentors supported harmonizing NRCan’s product definitions with U.S. standards, specifically 10 CFR 431.102. Industry associations jointly requested clearer commercial water heater definitions that would include “commercial” and input capacity descriptors to avoid confusion between household and commercial categories. Two manufacturers echoed this, emphasizing the need for consistency and regulatory clarity. One of them suggested adding a definition for “flow-activated instantaneous water heater” to harmonize with U.S. terminology.
• Response: Amendment 19 would reorganize Division 6 for Water Heaters, sorting household water heaters from commercial water heaters and placing them into dedicated subdivisions to simplify the regulatory text and eliminate the duplication in the current subdivisions. In addition, Amendment 19 would include a definition for hot water supply boilers and define flow-activated instantaneous water heaters in the commercial water heater subdivision to further support harmonization of commercial water heaters with the U.S. DOE.

Electric motors

Concern: Variable frequency drives

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate noted that more significant energy savings could be achieved by incorporating a requirement for variable frequency drives (VFDs) on electric motors.
• Response: VFDs are known for their energy saving capabilities in applications that do not require constant speed or constant power draw throughout their operating cycles. VFDs are not included in Amendment 19 because more research is needed to understand their use in different application scenarios requiring electric motors, and to determine how to evaluate their performance.

Concern: Inverter-only motors

• Comment: The National Electrical Manufacturers Association and various other stakeholders asked that the term inverter-only motors be defined to avoid potential confusion with inverter capable motors.
• Response: NRCan has included a definition for inverter-only motor in Amendment 19.

Gas fireplaces

Concern: Testing standard

• Comment: Testing bodies and manufacturers emphasized that the 2015 version of the testing standard CSA P.4.1 contains outdated calculations and errors and urged NRCan to adopt the 2024 version as soon as possible.
• Response: NRCan has updated the reference to the latest 2024 version of the CSA P.4.1 testing standard, which would apply starting on or after January 1, 2029.

Gas furnaces

Concern: Energy efficiency standards for commercial furnaces

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate recommended stronger efficiency requirements for commercial gas furnaces, citing climate-specific benefits and existing precedents in the Regulations. It suggested a 90% minimum thermal efficiency for non-rooftop units, and a minimum 85% thermal efficiency for rooftop commercial gas furnaces and oil-fired units.
• Response: The suggested levels reflect objectives outside the scope of Amendment 19 for commercial furnaces, which focusses on updating requirements to harmonize with U.S. DOE test procedures and efficiency levels. The efficiency levels analyzed for Amendment 19 were selected based on available data, harmonization with the amendment’s purpose, and feasibility of analysis within the regulatory framework. NRCan will consider the stakeholder’s suggestion when identifying priorities for future regulatory or program development. Meanwhile, the expanded scope and increased stringency of the Amendment 19 proposal would deliver energy savings and trade benefits.

Concern: Testing standards for commercial gas furnaces

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate supported the inclusion of the TE2 (“thermal efficiency 2”) metric in testing standards for commercial gas furnaces, noting its improved accuracy in capturing part-load and jacket losses compared to the previous metric (“TE”, thermal efficiency).
• Response: At the time of writing this document, the U.S. DOE had withdrawn the test procedure that introduced the TE2 metric. Accordingly, NRCan has not proposed performance levels relying on the TE2 test procedure. Amendment 19 would remain harmonized with the United States and with TE, using CFR Appendix A to Subpart D of Part 431, Title 10.

Heat pump water heaters

Concern: Commercial heat pump water heaters

• Comment: Manufacturers supported harmonizing definitions for commercial heat pump water heaters with the United States, and a manufacturer recommended the inclusion of the refrigeration cycle to match the U.S. definition.
• Response: NRCan has not included commercial heat pump water heaters in Amendment 19 due to uncertainty about the capacity of commercial heat pump water heating testing laboratories.

Concern: Small heat pump water heaters

• Comment: In joint comments, industry associations requested the removal of the phrase “except for small heat pump water heaters”, arguing it would introduce ambiguity and would be unnecessary in the Canadian regulatory context. Two manufacturers echoed this, with one noting that it is not relevant given Canada’s separate treatment of electric resistance and heat pump water heaters. One manufacturer opposed the exclusion of small heat pump water heaters, arguing the exclusion is only justified if heat pump water heaters are treated as a subset of electric storage water heaters and that they are able to meet the efficiency standards.
• Response: In consideration of these comments and other analysis, NRCan has removed the distinct definition and requirements that were initially proposed for small household heat pump water heaters.

Concern: Energy efficiency standards

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate and a manufacturer opposed NRCan’s separate categorization of heat pump water heaters and electric resistance water heaters, arguing it would limit policy options and slow heat pump water heater adoption. The advocate shared analysis showing significant operating cost savings in cold climates and emphasized that both technologies serve the same consumer utility. Another advocate echoed this, warning that separate energy efficiency standards for heat pump water heaters could eliminate affordable models and hinder adoption, especially after the discontinuation of Greener Homes rebates. They recommended harmonizing with the U.S. scope and cited the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance cool climate test procedure to address Canadian conditions.
• Response: The inclusion of heat pump water heaters in the Regulations would facilitate data collection to inform future policy decisions. NRCan analysis has determined that all known heat pump water heater models satisfy the proposed levels, so availability and choice would not be affected. Though not as efficient as heat pump water heaters, electric resistance water heaters remain an important affordable option for Canadians and the performance of resistance water heaters was significantly improved through the previous Amendment 18.

Concern: Gas-fired units

• Comment: A manufacturer recommended broadening NRCan’s definition of household heat pump water heaters by removing the word electricity. It argued that this term unnecessarily excludes gas-fired heat pump water heaters, which are currently used in commercial applications and could be viable for household use in the future. The manufacturer’s position was that the definition should be technology-neutral to allow for innovation and market development. While it supported the overall direction of NRCan’s heat pump water heater regulation, it recommended this definitional change.
• Response: NRCan has not identified any gas-fired heat pump water heaters in Canada and concluded that the proposed definition was reasonable and appropriate. Should non-electric heat pumps enter the market, adjustments to the Regulations could be made in the future.

Pool heaters

Concern: Definition and prescribed information

• Comment: A manufacturer requested to clarify the scope of the Regulations to only include household (consumer) pool heaters and to add reporting requirements on the Integrated Thermal Efficiency and Input Capacity metrics for gas-fired pool heaters, and the Integrated Thermal Efficiency and Active Electrical Power for electric pool heaters.
• Response: NRCan has modified the reporting requirements and definitions for pool heaters to better harmonize with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). To ensure harmonization with the U.S. DOE and to secure energy savings for residential and commercial users, NRCan’s proposal would not make a distinction between consumer and commercial pool heaters, and would not limit the scope to household pool heaters.

Pool pump motors

Concern: Pressure booster cleaner pumps

• Comment: A manufacturer commented that requirements for pressure booster cleaner pumps should be considered separately from pool filtration pump applications because motors used in pressure booster pump applications are different from those of filtration pump applications. The proposed requirements do not properly assess the innovations in multi-stage pump impeller designs, do not harmonize with the recently published pool pump regulation, and are not economically justified. It was also noted that a legal challenge to the U.S. DOE pool pump motor rule was under review by the U.S. Court of Appeals.
• Response: NRCan notes that, assuming the same motor output power, there are no technological features that distinguish a pool pump motor used in a pressure booster cleaner pump from a pool pump motor used in a filtering application. Were single-speed motors exempt from this specific application, there would be no ability to enforce that single-speed motors would not be used for other non-pressure booster cleaner pump applications. Regarding the legal challenge to the U.S. DOE pool pump motor rule, the Court of Appeals found, in January 2025, that the DOE’s explanations for the variable-speed requirements of pool pump motors were reasonable and upheld the DOE’s final rule, maintaining the requirement of variable speed motors. NRCan has maintained its proposal for pool pump motor requirements that are aligned with those of the U.S. DOE.

Ranges (gas and electric)

Concern: Labelling

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate expressed concern that NRCan’s proposal to remove the EnerGuide labelling requirement would make it challenging for consumers to estimate life cycle costs, thereby increasing the likelihood of purchasing inefficient appliances. It recommended that NRCan consider keeping the EnerGuide label for cooking products and expand the scope of appliance labelling requirements.
• Response: Annual energy consumption information would continue to be reported to NRCan and available online on NRCan’s searchable product list should consumers wish to estimate life cycle costs. Amendment 19 proposal to remove requirements for EnerGuide labelling is harmonized with the U.S. requirements and would be reconsidered should the United States introduce labelling requirements in the future.

Concern: Coil cooktops

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate expressed concern with repealing efficiency requirements for coil cooktops, since they are typically purchased for rentals or by low-income households. The commenter recommended the same requirements as electric smooth-top appliances apply.
• Response: NRCan has maintained its proposal to remove the requirements for coil cooktops because they have very low shipments in Canada and have very little opportunities to improve their efficiency, making it hard to justify a deviation from harmonization with the United States.

Televisions

Concern: Energy efficiency standards

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate recommended strong energy efficiency standards for smart televisions.
• Response: The United States does not regulate the energy performance of televisions and NRCan has decided to remain harmonized at this time to minimize trade barriers in North America. Nonetheless, NRCan currently regulates televisions for standby and off mode power and has maintained these requirements for products without network connected functionality to avoid backsliding. Furthermore, information gathering would allow NRCan to collect data to inform future policies, including with respect to the need for energy efficiency standards.

Concern: Labelling

• Comment: An energy efficiency advocate recommended EnerGuide labelling and harmonization with the European Union Ecodesign for Electronic Displays and repairability requirements. A manufacturer recommended harmonizing with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s energy label for the minimum screen size requirement (16 inch minimum). An industry association voiced concerns about physical labels and recommended the use of more dynamic and accessible means to deliver information.
• Response: In an effort to minimize North American trade barriers, Amendment 19 would more fully harmonize television requirements with the U.S. DOE because its testing standard better characterizes the energy consumption and performance of modern televisions, and NRCan does not have the regulatory authority for repairability. NRCan’s proposal would not harmonize with the Federal Trade Commission’s labelling, given its more limited scope, which concerns a minimum screen size of 16 inches. Nevertheless, NRCan might consider electronic labelling in the future and will continue monitoring the progress of the U.S. voluntary agreement for televisions. The manufacturer signatories of the voluntary agreement have committed to providing public access to energy consumption information for all new models of televisions sold in Canada.

Indigenous engagement, consultation and modern treaty obligations

As required by the Cabinet Directive on the Federal Approach to Modern Treaty Implementation, an assessment of modern treaty implications was conducted on Amendment 19. The assessment did not identify any modern treaty implications or obligations and determined that Amendment 19 does not trigger the Crown’s duty to consult.

In addition, a United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN Declaration) consistency analysis was conducted on Amendment 19. The assessment concluded that there are potential intersections with the UN Declaration and that Amendment 19 is consistent with the United Declaration.

NRCan sent information to national Indigenous organizations, regional Indigenous governments and organizations, and Modern Treaty and Self-Governing partners. These documents informed them of this proposed regulatory amendment and offered to meet to discuss their perspectives. Bilateral discussions occurred with Assembly of First Nations, Métis National Council, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami. NRCan has not received comments from Indigenous partners regarding the Regulations or Amendment 19. However, NRCan has heard from Indigenous partners that energy efficiency is important to them because it reduces energy costs, supports energy sovereignty, and aligns with Indigenous values of stewardship. NRCan has also heard that green buildings contribute to Indigenous partners’ health, social and economic goals.^{footnote 1}

Outreach will continue as Amendment 19 moves through the regulatory process, and NRCan remains ready to respond to questions and provide additional information upon request.

Instrument choice

Maintaining the baseline scenario (no action)

Maintaining the status quo would lead to missed opportunities to reduce energy consumption, leaving households with higher energy costs from their utility bills. Given Canada’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050 and the fact that, in 2023, Canada’s building sector accounted for more than 16% of direct national emissions and was indirectly responsible for another 5% through electricity generation–related emissions, maintaining the status quo would not contribute to incremental reductions towards the achievement of the net-zero goal. Due to the current uncertainty regarding U.S. regulatory measures related to product energy efficiency, maintaining the status quo would not clarify the protection against possible backsliding of incorporated standards. Finally, maintaining the status quo option would not deliver on the federal government’s commitment to cutting red tape from the regulatory system, from which NRCan committed to reducing the complexity of the Regulations through actions like grouping similar products by function and withdrawing outdated standards.

Developing voluntary mechanisms

Under a voluntary approach, the existing requirements found in the Regulations would be repealed, and voluntary agreements would be negotiated with dealers to follow specified energy efficiency and testing standards on a voluntary basis. Under a voluntary mechanism, energy efficiency gains would not be guaranteed, there would be no enforcement authority, and it would be difficult to verify energy efficiency achievements given the variety of products and models on the market. This would undermine the intent of the Energy Efficiency Act, and Canada’s broader strategy to advance energy efficiency, which aligns with practices adopted by many other countries. Finally, without mandatory reporting, NRCan could not publish verified energy performance data, limiting informed decisions for consumers, businesses, utilities, governments, and researchers.

Regulatory actions (Amendment 19)

Amendment 19 would provide confidence that energy use would be reduced, would enable harmonization to be maintained seamlessly with the use of ambulatory incorporation by reference , and would provide NRCan with the ability to adjust to changes quickly with new products for which the Minister could update through ministerial regulations, when maintaining harmonization of products where there is already a policy to harmonize. Amendment 19 would clarify the protection of incorporated standards from other jurisdictions against potential backsliding of the jurisdiction, thus maintaining the integrity of the Regulations. Finally, Amendment 19 would reduce the complexity of the Regulations by removing outdated requirements and grouping similar products within the same subdivision, making it easier for regulated parties to identify applicable requirements. These changes would support the Treasury Board’s efforts to reduce red tape, efforts that would not be possible under the status quo or voluntary mechanisms.

Regulatory analysis

Benefits and costs

Summary

The cumulative net benefits of Amendment 19 are estimated to be approximately $26.7 billion (present value) for products shipped by 2050, with cumulative benefits exceeding cumulative costs by a ratio of more than 3:1. By 2050, the present value of cumulative benefits and costs from the Amendment are estimated to be approximately $37.6 billion and $10.9 billion, respectively. See Table 1 for a summary description of the benefits and costs.

Table 1: Summary of benefits and costs associated with Amendment 19

Costs	Monetized benefits	Quantified benefits	Unaccounted non-energy benefits and costs
Technology costs Installation and maintenance costs Compliance costs Administrative burden Government administration	Energy (electric, natural gas and oil) savings Avoided damages because of GHG reductions Water savings Installation and maintenance cost savings Administrative cost savings from red tape reduction	Energy savings (PJ and TWh) GHG emission reductions (MtCO2e) Water saving (million of m³)	Outside air quality, competitiveness, assist utilities in managing peak demand, home comfort, indoor air quality, etc. Avoided trade and compliance issues (clarify the scope of the standards and procedures of other jurisdiction incorporated by reference in the Regulations) Future costs and benefits associated with the ambulatory incorporation by reference of documents

Annual reductions in energy consumption associated with Amendment 19 are estimated at approximately 10 PJ (2.6 TWh) in 2030, reaching 48 PJ (13.2 TWh) in 2050 and accumulating to 675 PJ (187.6 TWh) by 2050, as the sale of more efficient products steadily replaces the pre-Amendment 19 stock. This is equivalent to powering 7.7 million Canadian households by 2050. Canadian consumers would also realize economic benefits in the form of reduced energy costs due to the implementation of Amendment 19. It is estimated that cumulative energy savings of $18.98 billion (present value) would be realized by 2050.

Annual reductions in GHG emissions resulting from the reduction in energy consumption are estimated to be 0.6 MtCO₂e in 2030, reaching 2.7 MtCO₂e in 2050 with a total accumulation over that period of 38 MtCO₂e by 2050. It is estimated that, by applying a social cost of carbon dioxide equivalent to these reductions, the cumulative economic benefits associated with GHG emission reductions would be approximately $16.7 billion (present value) by 2050. This is calculated as the value of avoided damages from GHG emission reductions, which benefit society in general, not only the consumers purchasing the more efficient products.

The cumulative present value of incremental technology costs ($9.7 billion), including installation costs ($-77 million) and maintenance costs ($1.2 billion), associated with Amendment 19 is estimated to be just over $10.9 billion by 2050. Finally, dishwashers and clothes washers would save energy, in part, through reduced water consumption. The expected water savings are estimated to be 481 million cubic metres (m³) of water by 2050.

Methodology, assumptions, and data

NRCan analyzed the economic gains to be made through Amendment 19 and the impact on Canadian society within a cost-benefit analysis framework. The costs and benefits per product associated with the proposed requirements were obtained by comparing the following scenarios and assuming that Canada’s costs and benefits come entirely from Amendment 19, not from any influence of other jurisdictions’ actions (no spillover effects):

• The baseline scenario (i.e. no Amendment 19): Markets characterized by the market studies completed between 2023 and 2025
• The regulatory scenario (i.e. Amendment 19): The implementation of requirements compared with those in the baseline market scenario

Products subject to Amendment 19 are only included in the cost-benefit analysis if they are linked to energy savings, water savings, or incremental technology, installation, maintenance, compliance (including third-party verification costs and packaging labelling), and administrative costs (including familiarization, submitting information, and coordinating verification). No other benefits or costs were modelled by products.

Methodology to estimate costs

It is assumed that incremental business costs, including those associated with more efficient technologies, compliance, and administration, remain constant over the analysis period and are passed on to consumers. This assumption simplifies the methodology since individual business decisions that affect retail product prices are unknown.

The analysis does not attempt to predict actual changes in product prices. Instead, it quantifies the economic impacts that can be directly attributable to Amendment 19 using as reference a conservative assumption on costs due to improving the energy efficiency of the products. In practice, there are many other factors that can increase or decrease the final retail price that a consumer sees for a given product model (e.g. transportation costs, labour costs, product features not related to energy efficiency, pricing strategies). The analysis does not account for these factors. Incremental costs related to installation and maintenance over the lifetime of the product are also evaluated, if applicable.

Finally, as a result of Amendment 19 coming into force, the Government would be required to increase its compliance, inspection, and enforcement efforts for the suite of energy-using products with changing requirements. This would equate to two additional full-time equivalent resources for NRCan, which would be managed within existing reference levels.

Methodology to estimate benefits

Energy savings for each product were estimated by comparing the energy used by products available on the market today against the modified version of that product that would meet the updated energy efficiency standards. The difference was multiplied by the annual shipments of products that do not meet the proposed energy efficiency standards and multiplied by the lifetime of the product to calculate total energy savings per product. Results were summed across all affected products to estimate the total energy saved by the amendment. Energy savings were monetized using the cost of energy saved (e.g. dollars per kilowatt-hour). In practice, the estimated energy savings could be less, all other things being equal, if consumers were choosing to “use” their savings in a way that increases energy consumption. For example, a more efficient pool heater may lead a consumer to maintain a warmer pool or extend the heating season, thereby reducing expected energy savings and increasing the use of the heating service. This phenomenon is known as the rebound effect, which is not accounted for in this analysis.^{footnote 2} Water savings for affected products were calculated using the same methodology as energy saving but using the cost of water saved (i.e. cost of water and wastewater service in Canada per m³).

The reductions in GHG emissions were calculated by applying fuel-specific emission factors to the resulting energy savings. To remain consistent with the U.S. methodology and produce more realistic GHG savings, the reductions attributable to diminished electricity consumption reported throughout this document were calculated by applying the emission factors associated with the marginal fuels used to generate the electricity that would be saved through implementation of Amendment 19.^{footnote 3} To allow comparison with outcomes reported by Environment and Climate Change Canada, the reductions in GHG emissions were also calculated by applying an average emission factor (see the “Sensitivity analysis” section). Total reductions in GHG emissions with the average emission factor are estimated to be approximately 24 MtCO₂e by 2050 (versus 38 MtCO₂e with the marginal emission factor). Emission reductions can come directly from products that combust fossil fuels to generate heat, or at the point of electricity generation for electrical products. These reductions might be offset if the energy saved by Amendment 19 is used by another growing demand. GHG emissions were monetized and incorporated into the analysis using a social cost of carbon. The social cost of carbon represents an estimate of the economic value of avoided climate change damages at the global level, for current and future generations, because of reducing GHG emissions.

Assumptions

The key assumptions used in the main analysis are the following:

• The analysis covers shipments impacted by Amendment 19 between 2027 and 2050. Shipments are assumed to not be impacted by voluntary early compliance.
• The baseline scenario reflects Canadian market conditions in 2024 (i.e. the most recent data available at the time market studies for the products were conducted).
• Benefits and costs are measured in real constant 2024 dollars.
• A 2% real discount rate is applied to all benefits and costs with values discounted to 2026.^{footnote 4}
• Canadian average energy prices are based on data from Environment and Climate Change Canada’s 2022 reference case emission projections.^{footnote 5}
• Canadian average water prices are based on a study prepared for NRCan that estimated the average residential ratepayer costs of water and wastewater service in Canada to be $3.73 per m³ (in 2023 dollars), where it is assumed that all water that comes into the home eventually becomes wastewater.^{footnote 6}
• The social cost of carbon used in this analysis is calculated by Environment and Climate Change Canada at $271/tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2025 (in 2021 dollars), increasing each year with the expected growth in damages.^{footnote 7}
• Costs incurred by manufacturers to produce more efficient technologies, and compliance and administration burden are assumed to be passed on to consumers.
• Incremental costs associated with more efficient technology are assumed to be constant, despite evidence that such costs come down with time, owing to improvements in manufacturing processes and economies of scale as higher volumes of product models with new technology enter the market.^{footnote 8} This assumption could lead to overestimates of manufacturing incremental costs; however, it provides a conservative assessment of overall net benefits.
• No taxes are included in the analysis (product costs, installation costs, energy, etc.). This is because the taxes are considered transfer payments and, thus, are not a net cost to society.

Data collection and sources

Most of the data for the analysis were collected on a product-by-product basis, through market studies. The studies provided key inputs to the analysis, such as the market size, the portion of the market that meets or does not meet the proposed new or more stringent energy efficiency standards, the benchmarks that best represent the market, energy savings from the baseline scenario to the regulatory scenario, costs of moving from the baseline scenario to the regulatory scenario, product lifetime, and installation and maintenance costs. The market studies are considering leading jurisdictions when analyzing appropriate minimum energy performance standards for Canada. All assumptions and data sources are detailed in the cost-benefit analysis report.

Positive impacts

Positive impacts from Amendment 19 are energy and water savings, as well as reductions in GHG emissions, installation and maintenance cost savings, and administrative cost savings from red tape reduction (quantified non-$ impacts are summarized in Table 6 above). It would also provide additional non-quantified benefits:

• Regulatory stability by using ambulatory references and expansion of products eligible for future ministerial regulations. This reduces periods of regulatory misalignment, makes efficient use of government resources and avoids future duplicate testing for industry.
• Lower operating costs for businesses and institutions, supporting productivity, competitiveness, and reinvestment-driven economic activity.
• Reduced electricity consumption decreases peak load pressures on utilities and limits the need for additional generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure.
• Verified energy performance data collected through NRCan’s compliance program support informed purchasing decisions by households and businesses and strengthen future policy development and evidence-based regulatory decision-making.

Negative impacts

Negative impacts from Amendment 19 are increased technology costs, installation and maintenance costs, compliance costs, administrative burden and government administration.

Sensitivity analysis

Given that several inputs into the analysis are subject to a certain degree of uncertainty, in addition to the baseline scenario, sensitivity analyses were performed using

• The average emission factor for electricity^{footnote 9}
• A 7% discount rate
• No social cost of carbon (SCC)
• A 10% reduction in the estimated incremental costs
• The lowest and highest regional energy prices
• A 25% addition and a 25% reduction in water prices (high and low water prices)

Overall, the various sensitivity scenarios support estimates of positive net benefits for all products, with cumulative net benefits (in present value) by 2050 in the range of $9,958 million (no SCC) to $82,713 million (high energy prices), in comparison to $26,692 million of net benefits under the reference case, as shown in Table 7.

Distributional impact analysis

The incremental costs and the benefits would be distributed differently depending on the product sector of use and whether we are only considering direct net benefits from using the product or benefits to Canadians as a whole. Incremental costs and water and energy savings benefits would be perceived by the consumer who purchases a more efficient product, energy savings benefits from pumping and purifying less water would be perceived by utilities that serve water to the residential sector, and GHG emission reductions benefits would be perceived by Canadians at large, including consumers of more efficient products.

Overall, by 2050, most of the costs and benefits would occur in the residential sector with estimated net benefits (in present value) of over $15.5 billion, in comparison to $9.9 and $1.3 billion in the commercial and industrial sectors. The largest incremental costs and benefits would be felt in the markets of residential pool pump motors and refrigerators and combination refrigerator-freezers followed by commercial pool pump motors and gas-fired instantaneous water heaters.

The analysis shows that, for each product impacted by Amendment 19, total per unit benefits would outweigh the incremental cost associated with a more efficient unit. Also, for most products, the money that would be saved on energy and water bills would offset the technological costs that would result from improving the product’s energy efficiency, if any. However, for gas clothes dryers and pool pump motors used in the residential sector, over half of consumers in the market might experience a net monetary loss when purchasing a more efficient product if money savings during the useful life of the product are not enough to cover the incremental costs. Likewise, for commercial size gas-fired storage water heaters used in the commercial sector, about three quarters of consumers might experience a net monetary loss when purchasing a more efficient product. In the case of ground-source heat pumps used in the residential and commercial sectors, less than a quarter of customers are at risk of experiencing a net loss because most shipments would already meet the new energy efficiency standards.^{footnote 10} However, it is important to consider that incremental costs to consumers may not materialize to the extent modelled, as manufactures often find novel ways to reduce costs when meeting energy efficiency standards. Details on this analysis can be found in the cost-benefit analysis report.

Small business lens

It is expected that approximately 7 313 small businesses may be impacted by Amendment 19. Overall, the compliance and administrative costs to small businesses would increase, in annualized average, by a total of $686,879 or $94 per small business (Table 10).

The products covered by Amendment 19 are mostly manufactured outside of Canada by multinational companies. Twenty-two Canadian-based manufacturers have been identified by the market studies used for Amendment 19 to be producing some of the products, 61% of which are small businesses; however many are not subject to the Regulations as they do not ship their products from one province to another for the purpose of sale or lease. Exceptions are for pool heaters and water heaters that have manufacturers located in Canada and shipping products between provinces (in the case of water heaters, the Canadian-based manufacturer only sells its products in Canada). Also, there are many small businesses that import energy-using products in the country, but the majority of the businesses that import some of the products included in Amendment 19 are not expected to be significantly impacted financially, given that it would still be possible for them to import products that meet or exceed the proposed energy efficiency standards and Canadians would still look for them when needing to replace their products. Amendment 19 would ensure that more efficient products are imported and sold to Canadians and no flexibility for small businesses is planned.

Overall, Amendment 19 is considered an “in” under the one-for-one rule. It would increase the administrative burden, in annualized average, by approximately $40,238 administrative costs to industry or $4 per business (all single businesses impacted). No comments were received from stakeholders on the impacts of Amendment 19 on administrative burden.

Familiarization with Amendment 19

Familiarization with new or updated requirements in the Regulations is a one-time incremental administrative function that would apply to dealers subject to the changes of Amendment 19. The task involves reviewing Amendment 19 and understanding the new and updated regulatory requirements. It is assumed that this task would be performed upon the publication of Amendment 19. This burden is estimated by multiplying the number of hours required to complete the task by the average hourly wage of the people performing it, and then by the total number of affected businesses. NRCan red tape reduction efforts to streamline the regulatory text in Amendment 19 are projected to save approximately 15% of familiarization time.

Submitting energy efficiency reports

Amendment 19 would introduce an administrative burden associated with the provision of information in an energy efficiency report that must be filed with NRCan before an energy-using product is imported or shipped across provinces and territories (see energy efficiency report under Introduction to the Regulations). An energy efficiency report must be filed only when a product model is not already listed in NRCan’s energy-efficient model database (Searchable Product List). A one-time administrative burden is considered for new products, or those whose scope has been expended, to take into account the effort required to complete the form for the first time. An ongoing added burden is applied to products that have new reporting elements that differ from reporting requirements already in place in other jurisdictions, based on the market for the specific products. This burden is estimated by multiplying the number of hours required to complete the task, the average hourly wage of the people performing it, and the total number of reports that would be filed per year.

Submitting import reports

Amendment 19 would introduce an administrative burden associated with the submission of information in an import report that must be submitted to the Canada Border Services Agency each time an energy-using product is imported into Canada (see import reporting under Introduction to the Regulations). An ongoing added burden would apply to all newly regulated products and subcategories of newly regulated products. This burden is estimated by multiplying the number of hours required to complete the task, the average hourly wage of the people performing it, and the total number of reports that would be submitted per year based on estimated reporting frequencies.

Coordinating verification

Amendment 19 would introduce third-party verification requirements for new products, as well as those increasing the scope of currently regulated products. Those would require administrative coordination of the third-party verification process. This burden is estimated by multiplying the number of hours required to complete the task, the average hourly wage of the people performing it, and the total number of businesses impacted.

Regulatory cooperation and alignment

Amendments to the Regulations were developed in line with previous regulatory cooperation efforts made to address or avoid unnecessary regulatory differences within Canada and within North America (see Table 12 for a summary of the regulatory cooperation associated with Amendment 19).

• The federal Energy Efficiency Regulations are widely viewed by all stakeholders as the preferred approach to establish a set of consistent, national energy efficiency standards for the marketplace. Discussions through existing channels and formal processes under the Regulatory Reconciliation and Cooperation Table (RCT) of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement aim to reduce and eliminate, to the extent possible, barriers to trade within Canada. At present, there are six provinces that regulate energy-using products that are manufactured and sold within their own province. No territories have their own regulations. To enhance coordination efforts, NRCan and the regulating provinces have collaborated to develop A Federal-Provincial-Territorial Cooperation Framework on Energy Efficiency Standards and Regulations (PDF). It should also be noted that, under An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act, which received royal assent on June 26, 2025, a good produced, used or distributed in accordance with a provincial requirement would be considered to meet any comparable federal requirement. More information can be found on this guidance web page: Compliance using the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act.
• The Canada–United States–Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA) includes provisions in support of harmonization and regulatory practice requirements across North America. Annex 12-D of Chapter 12 of CUSMA states that each party shall consider adopting energy performance standards and test procedures adopted by another party. CUSMA, however, does not mandate harmonization, recognizing that successful efforts at harmonization should not diminish consumer welfare, consumer protection and national energy efficiency objectives.

The other regulating provinces could update their regulations, based on their respective policy objectives, and the RCT cooperation framework.	The energy efficiency standards and testing standards would be harmonized with the prevailing standards used by manufacturers in North America. Adding hot water supply boilers as a commercial water heater product class alongside commercial gas-fired instantaneous water heaters would match the scope of products regulated in the United States. Furthermore, consolidating all household and commercial water heaters into two distinct subdivisions would harmonize with the structure of U.S. regulations.
Gas-fired storage water heaters	The update of standards for gas-fired storage water heaters would automatically apply to provinces that incorporate by reference the Regulations for all products (New Brunswick) and for specific products, including this one (Ontario and Nova Scotia). The other regulating provinces could update their regulations, based on their respective policy objectives, and the RCT cooperation framework.	The energy efficiency and testing standards would be harmonized with the prevailing standards used by manufacturers in North America. Furthermore, consolidating all household and commercial water heaters into two distinct subdivisions would harmonize with the structure of U.S. regulations.

The other regulating provinces could update their regulations, based on their respective policy objectives, and the RCT cooperation framework.	Adding gas furnaces that have an input rate greater than or equal to 117.23 kW (400 000 Btu/h) in the Regulations would match the scope of products regulated in the United States. The energy efficiency and testing standards would be harmonized with the prevailing standards used by manufacturers in North America.
Ground-source heat pumps	The introduction of standards for water-to-water and direct-exchange ground-source heat pumps would, along with the other updated standards, automatically apply to provinces that incorporate by reference the Regulations for all products (New Brunswick) and for specific products, including these ones (Quebec and Nova Scotia). The introduction of standards for water-to-water and direct-exchange ground-source heat pumps would harmonize with the scope of products regulated by Ontario. The other regulating provinces could update their regulations, based on their respective policy objectives, and the RCT cooperation framework.	Adding water-to-water and direct-exchange ground-source heat pumps in the Regulations would introduce some regulatory differences with the scope of products regulated in the United States (the United States does not regulate ground-source heat pumps), mandating dealers importing into Canada or shipping inter-provincially for the purpose of sale or lease, to meet prescribed energy efficiency standards, testing standards, reporting and verification requirements. This burden already exists to some extent in Canada, as Ontario currently mandates that products offered for sale in the province must adhere to new energy efficiency and testing standards outlined in its regulation. It should be noted however that both Canada and the United States cover ground-source heat pumps product under their ENERGY STAR@ program.
Oil-fired water heaters	The update of standards for oil-fired water heaters would automatically apply to provinces that incorporate by reference the Regulations for all products (New Brunswick) and for specific products, including this one (Ontario and Quebec) and household oil-fired water heaters (Nova Scotia). The other regulating provinces could update their regulations, based on their respective policy objectives, and the RCT cooperation framework.

Furthermore, consolidating all household and commercial water heaters into two distinct subdivisions would harmonize with the structure of U.S. regulations.
Ranges (cocking products)	The update of electric and gas ranges would automatically apply to provinces that incorporate by reference the Regulations for all products (New Brunswick) and for specific products, including ranges (Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia). The other regulating provinces could update their regulations, based on their respective policy objectives, and the RCT cooperation framework.	The consolidation of electric ranges and gas ranges into one subdivision entitled cooking products would harmonize with the structure of U.S. regulations. The energy efficiency and testing standards would remain harmonized with the prevailing standards used by manufacturers in North America.
Recovery ventilators	The introduction of energy efficiency standards for energy and heat recovery ventilators would automatically apply, along with other changes, to New Brunswick, which incorporates by reference the Regulations for all products. The other regulating provinces could update their regulations, based on their respective policy objectives, and the RCT cooperation framework.	Adding energy efficiency standards for energy and heat recovery ventilators in the Regulations would introduce some regulatory differences with the United States where the product is not regulated, mandating dealers importing into Canada or shipping inter-provincially for the purpose of sale or lease, to meet prescribed energy efficiency standards, testing standards, reporting and verification requirements. This burden already exists to some extent in Canada, as the Canadian ENERGY STAR@ program currently required that products certified with their logo offered for sale in Canada must adhere to new energy efficiency and testing standards outlined in Amendment 19.

International obligations

Similar to other technical regulations, NRCan would notify the World Trade Organisation under the Technical Barriers to Trade Agreement when the proposed changes are prepublished in the Canada Gazette, Part I and when the finalized changes are published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, and respect the 6 months delay before requirements come into force.

Effects on the environment

Amendment 19 is expected to generate positive environmental effects by reducing energy consumption, lowering GHG emissions, and decreasing pressure on electricity systems through updated efficiency standards and improved product performance. These benefits may accumulate over time when combined with other federal, provincial, and territorial initiatives aimed at reducing emissions and improving energy system resilience. No significant negative environmental effects are anticipated, as the proposal does not involve physical disturbance or activities known to cause environmental harm.

Gender-based analysis plus

Overall, Amendment 19 is expected to reduce household energy and water costs, although the distribution of these benefits may vary by location, socio-economic circumstances, or identity. Amendment 19 is not expected to have disproportionate negative impacts on women, people from the 2SLGBTQI community, racialized people, seniors, peoples with disabilities or Indigenous People. However, if Amendment 19 leads to increased product costs, low-income households could be more significantly affected, as discussed below.

Households facing higher energy prices, such as those in rural, northern, and remote communities that are not connected to the national electricity grid and rely on more expensive energy sources like diesel generators, would experience greater net benefits from reductions in energy bills. In addition, many remote communities are located in northern regions and typically have colder groundwater temperatures, resulting in higher-than-average daily energy consumption for water heating. Hence, households in these communities could benefit more from purchasing more energy-efficient dishwashers, clothes washers, water heaters and pool heaters. However, it should be noted that heat pump water heaters’ performance decreases in colder climates and that residential private pools are not common in northern and remote communities due to a shorter pool season and higher transport and installation costs. Approximately 25% of the people living in rural and remote communities are Indigenous peoples.^{footnote 11}

Energy and water bill savings could help alleviate the financial burden on low-income households. Nevertheless, higher product costs could have a more significant impact on these households. In 2022, 10.9% of households were considered low-income and largely included Indigenous peoples, women, racialized people, single-parent families, younger and older people (under 30 and aged 65 and over), and those with a high school degree or less.^{footnote 12} Energy-efficient product upgrades in rental units may reduce energy costs for renters who pay their own utilities, but may not benefit renters whose utilities are included in rent.^{footnote 13} In 2021, approximately 33% of households were renters, and renters were more likely to be low-income households.

Implementation, compliance and enforcement, and service standards

Amendment 19 would come into force six months after the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II. Nevertheless, for the following products, a transitional provision allowing for early compliance with the new requirements would come into force on the day on which Amendment 19 is published in the Canada Gazette, Part II:

• Clothes washers and integrated clothes washer-dryers
• Dishwashers
• Ranges (cooking product)

Provisions related to the removal of outdated standards and associated requirements, resulting in all regulated products having to meet the latest standards, would come into force one year after the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II. Exceptions are listed below, along with the coming into force dates by which products must meet the latest standards.^{footnote 14}

• Battery chargers, gas furnaces, recovery ventilators: January 1, 2029
• Central air conditioners and heat pumps: 6 months after publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II
• Clothes washers, electric clothes dryers and integrated clothes washer-dryers: March 1, 2029
• Electric motors: June 1, 2028
• Gas fireplaces: January 1, 2030
• Ranges (cooking products): January 31, 2028

For products prescribed under the Regulations, NRCan employs a third-party verification system using the services of certification bodies accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. Verified energy performance data is submitted to NRCan by the regulated parties in an energy efficiency report. This report is required for each product model before the first importation or interprovincial shipment.

Existing NRCan procedures for the collection of information for commercial imports of prescribed products apply to products affected by Amendment 19. These procedures involve crosschecking required import data received from customs release documents with the energy efficiency reports that regulated parties have submitted to NRCan. This allows verification of prescribed products imported into Canada.

In addition to ongoing compliance and marketplace monitoring activities, NRCan surveys and tests products in the context of monitoring compliance outcomes with product-specific compliance audits. Depending on the product, inspections, in-store audits and testing of products are also conducted. NRCan also conducts product testing on a complaint-driven basis. The market is highly competitive, and suppliers are cognizant of performance claims made by their competitors.
