The second Trump administration has made a point of rolling back regulations that restrict the functionality of home appliances in the name of efficiency during its first 100 days.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright laid out what the administration has accomplished on appliance efficiency standards that should result in a better quality of life for consumers during a trip to a Georgia factory that could have been shut down if not for deregulation.
At the Rinnai America Corporation’s manufacturing facility in Griffin, Georgia, they make tankless water heaters, one of the appliances for which the Department of Energy has postponed new, more restrictive standards. Tankless water heaters, of course, are beloved appliances in households across the country where residents have decided they don&#8217;t like running out of hot water for showers.
Wright&#8217;s agency postponed water heater rules on March 24. The rules would have punished companies such as Rinnai, according to the Department of Energy.
“Rinnai is the only company manufacturing non-condensing tankless water heaters in the United States. A Biden-era rule would have effectively banned these products — putting more than 200 Georgia jobs at risk, undermining U.S. manufacturing, and stripping away a cost-effective, high-efficiency option from American households,” a department <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/secretary-energy-chris-wright-visit-rinnai-america-griffin-georgia-mark-100-days" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> said.
On the same day in March that Wright’s department took action on water heater rules, the Energy Department postponed and rescinded rules on a slate of other household appliances, as well. It lifted rules and deadlines on appliances such as walk-in coolers and freezers, central air conditioners and heat pumps, electric motors, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers, and external power supplies.
“Today, Americans are paying less at the pump and have more choices for home appliances thanks to President Trump cutting red tape and unleashing the production of affordable, reliable, secure American energy,” Wright said in a <a href="https://www.energy.gov/articles/secretary-wright-highlights-100-days-unleashing-american-energy-under-president-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> marking Trump’s 100th day in office.
President Donald Trump joked about actions his administration took on showerheads during a rally on Tuesday.
“We&#8217;ve opened up your faucets,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1917358070298193943" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “I don&#8217;t like taking a shower where the water goes drip, drip, drip onto my luxuriant hair. I need a lot of water. I need everything I can get. I don&#8217;t need to be under a shower trying to get water to come out of that damn thing.”
Last month, Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/maintaining-acceptable-water-pressure-in-showerheads/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ordered</a> the repeal of a 13,000-word regulation defining the term “showerhead.” The Energy Department also postponed Biden-era efficiency standards for manufactured housing and began the process to lift efficiency regulations on portable electric spas.
