Abstract:

  • Optimal replacement schedules for residential central air conditioners were found.
  • Minimizing energy required more frequent replacement than minimizing consumer cost.
  • Significant variation in optimal replacement was observed for Michigan and Texas.
  • Rebates for altering replacement patterns are not cost effective for GHG abatement.
  • Maintenance levels were significant in determining the energy and GHG impacts.
