The Biden administration has been on a tirade against our home appliances. Numerous regulations have significantly limited our choices and increased prices in the name of “efficiency standards” and “environmental protection” — all without proof that their fallacious claims are true. In reality, these regulations are an affront to free market principles.
Fortunately, Representative Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) has introduced the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act (H.R. 6192) to rein in the power of these types of regulations. Her bill, which is slated to be voted on this week, will prohibit the Department of Energy (DOE) from issuing rules that increase costs or limit availability of household products we all rely on — stoves, dishwashers, washing machines, showers, toilets, water heaters, air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces. The DOE will have to consider the costs to low- and middle-income families before proposing new regulations and can revoke current standards based on that assessment.
We are tired of paying too much for dishwashers that cannot clean our dishes, clothes washers and dryers that take multiple cycles, and electric stoves to replace our preferred gas stoves.
We cannot afford to have big government in our homes. Please contact your Representative to ask for support of H.R. 6192, the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act.
