Who sponsors this program? The EPA approved program is sponsored by the North American Retail Dealers Association (NARDA), and the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) and hosted by the Professional Service Association (PSA). What products are included? "Type I” appliances under EPA regulations are called “small appliances” and include: refrigerators and freezers designed for home use, room air conditioners including window models, packaged terminal air conditioners, packaged terminal heat pumps, dehumidifiers, under the counter ice makers, vending machines, and drinking water coolers. These products were grouped by the EPA because they are manufactured, charged and hermetically sealed in the factory with five (5) pounds or less of refrigerant.
