What does the Energy Star sticker on appliances mean?
Energy Star is a government-backed program helping homeowners and businesses protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. Energy efficient choices can save families about a third on their energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. If looking for new household products, look for ones that have earned the Energy Star. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and US Department of Energy. If looking for a new home, look for one that has been built and tested to earn the Energy Star designation. See Energy Star for answers to all you questions.
