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