Save up to $800 When You Upgrade to ENERGY STAR® Certified Home Heating Equipment
With half* the energy used in your home going towards heating and cooling, choosing ENERGY STAR certified equipment can have a big impact on comfort and bill savings.
If your furnace or boiler is over 15 years old, it’s probably heating your home inconsistently or close to failing. Avoid the hassle and extra costs of equipment failure by replacing your old unit with a new ENERGY STAR certified model.

ENERGY STAR certified boilers use about 5% less energy than standard models, while ENERGY STAR certified furnaces are about 15% more efficient.*
