Marginal note:Definitions
257 The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.
- CSA 2.3
CSA 2.3 means the CSA standard ANSI Z21.47-2016/CSA 2.3-2016 entitled Gas-Fired Central Furnaces. (CSA 2.3)
- CSA P.2
CSA P.2[Repealed, SOR/2018-201, s. 34]
- gas furnace
gas furnace means an automatic operating gas-fired central forced air furnace that uses propane or natural gas and has an input rate of not more than 117.23 kW (400,000 Btu/h). It does not include a furnace for a park model trailer or a recreational vehicle. (générateur d’air chaud à gaz)
- gas furnace for relocatable buildings
gas furnace for relocatable buildings means a gas furnace that is intended for use in a temporary modular building that can be relocated from one site to another and is marked for use in relocatable buildings. (générateur d’air chaud à gaz pour bâtiments relocalisables)
- manufactured home
manufactured home means a factory-built, single- or multiple-section, one-storey dwelling that
(a) is designed and constructed for year-round occupancy;
(b) is designed to be transported to its installation site; and
(c) is ready for occupancy when it is installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. (maison usinée)
- replacement non-condensing gas furnace
replacement non-condensing gas furnace means a non-condensing gas furnace that is marked for use as a replacement for a non-condensing gas furnace in a manufactured home. (générateur d’air chaud à gaz sans condensation de remplacement)
- through-the-wall
through-the-wall means, with respect to a gas furnace, one that is designed and marketed to be installed in an opening in an exterior wall that is fitted with a weatherized sleeve. (mural)
Marginal note:Energy-using product
258 (1) A gas furnace is prescribed as an energy-using product.
Marginal note:Limits
(2) However, for the purposes of sections 4, 5 and 259, a gas furnace is not considered to be an energy-using product if
(a) it was manufactured before February 3, 1995;
(b) it is a gas furnace for relocatable buildings that is manufactured before July 3, 2019; or
(c) it is a replacement non-condensing gas furnace that is manufactured before July 3, 2019.
Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards
259 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of the table to this section apply to gas furnaces described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4.
Marginal note:Testing standard
(2) A gas furnace complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by the standard set out in column 2 that are applicable to a gas furnace as defined in section 257.
