How does the EnerGuide FE rating benefit Canadians?
• Retailers benefit because the EnerGuide FE rating creates a level playing field for all products, based on a recognized national standard. • The hearth industry benefits because FE test results reflect the state of fireplace technology today and will serve to encourage technological innovation, resulting over time in meaningful increases in the EnerGuide FE rating. • Consumers benefit because the EnerGuide FE rating lets buyers easily and reliably compare the energy efficiency of different makes and/or models of fireplaces. • Canadians benefit because, by helping buyers choose the most energy-efficient equipment, the EnerGuide FE rating acts to reduce energy demand, thereby reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and helping to protect our environment.
