Appliances
Choosing ENERGY STARŪ qualified appliances for your home is a smart decision — they use less energy, save money and help protect the environment.
ENERGY STAR appliances not only use less electricity, they also use much less water. Front loading clothes washers for instance use up to 20 gallons of water LESS than top loading washers per load. All ENERGY STAR qualified appliances have to meet a government standard of efficiency over and above non-qualified products. What does this mean to you the consumer? When you purchase an ENERGY STAR qualified appliance you are receiving an overall higher qualify product. It will last longer and run quieter! It also means clothes that last longer, dishes that get cleaner and food that remains at more consistent temperature. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo when purchasing your next appliance.
