ENERGY STAR®

ENERGY STAR® is an international symbol of energy efficiency. It helps you quickly and easily identify the most energy efficient products available to help you save energy, money and protect the environment.

Manufacturers or retailers place the ENERGY STAR logo on the models that meet or exceed the ENERGY STAR energy-efficiency criteria. Today, most leading manufacturers of home heating equipment are producing high-efficiency systems that qualify for the ENERGY STAR logo.

What is an ENERGY STAR qualified furnace or boiler?

An ENERGY STAR natural gas furnace has an annual fuel utilization efficiency or AFUE rating of 90% or higher and an ENERGY STAR natural gas boiler has an AFUE of 85% or higher.

You can locate the ENERGY STAR logo on the back of the manufacturer's brochures, beside the EnerGuide rating box. As well many of the manufacturer’s ENERGY STAR products and EnerGuide ratings for furnaces and boilers are listed on the Natural Resources Canada website. Use the EnerGuide rating to determine the AFUE rating and locate the ENERGY STAR logo to ensure you are purchasing a product that qualifies for the Natural Gas Equipment Rebate Program.
