PEACHTREE CITY, Ga., Feb. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rinnai America Corporation — a leading North American manufacturer of energy-efficient tankless water heaters — applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn the Department of Energy’s (DOE) rule that threatens American jobs, drives up consumer costs and undermines energy efficiency.
“Yesterday’s vote in the House represents a clear stand for American workers, consumers, and energy efficiency,” said Frank Windsor, President, Rinnai America Corporation. “We remain committed to manufacturing in the U.S., providing affordable, energy-efficient solutions for American families, and protecting jobs in communities like Griffin, Georgia. The CRA will ensure that our country continues to benefit from innovation, consumer choice and the job creation that come with it.”
The vote comes after President Trump announced he plans to sign the bill in its current form.
“We are grateful to President Trump and to our local Congressman Brian Jack who worked tirelessly to ensure the CRA passed,” added Windsor.
The passage of the CRA is a critical victory for American manufacturing, consumers, and energy efficiency advocates. The rule, issued by the DOE, effectively bans non-condensing tankless water heaters, forcing consumers to choose more expensive and less efficient condensing models or traditional storage tank water heaters. This misguided regulation would result in higher energy costs, less consumer choice, and job losses in communities across the United States.
The CRA is now headed to the U.S. Senate for further consideration.
We urge all senators, especially Georgia’s U.S. Senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, to support the CRA resolution.
Let’s put American workers above politics and move forward with common-sense energy solutions that protect American jobs and prevent unnecessary cost increases for families across the country.
