The federal government's plan to tighten energy efficiency standards on home appliances could lead to fewer models, longer wait times and higher costs, according to an industry group.
A directive to make the Energy Star certification mandatory for all new home appliances starting in 2022 was included in a mandate letter to the natural resources minister in 2019, and the department is now in the process of developing the regulations.
