DOE alleged in a Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty that Nordyne, LLC d/b/a Garrison Heating and Cooling Products failed to certify various residential central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps as compliant with the applicable energy conservation standards. DOE regulations require a manufacturer (which includes importers) to submit reports certifying that its products have been tested and meet the applicable energy conservation standards. This civil penalty notice advises the company of the potential penalties and DOE's administrative process, including the company's right to a hearing.
