During the current lapse in appropriations, EPA intends to keep the ENERGY STAR website, tools, and resources available, however they will not be updated regularly. Many services may not be available during this time.
Air conditioning equipment that earns the ENERGY STAR saves energy, saves money and helps protect the climate. Visit the Central and Mini-Split Air Conditioners page for usage tips and buying guidelines.
Effective October 20, 2025, due to the lapse in appropriations, the lists are static and not being updated.
Use this list to identify the brands that offer ENERGY STAR certified equipment. If you know the size range you need, you can see which model series that have ENERGY STAR options could work for you. Ask your contractor to confirm that the specific system you are getting is ENERGY STAR certified.
