Every appliance comes with two price tags: the purchase price and the cost of operating the product. ENERGY STAR certified appliances help consumers save money on operating costs by reducing energy use without sacrificing performance.

Approximately 70% of U.S. electricity comes from burning fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and contributes to climate change. ENERGY STAR certified appliances meet strict energy efficiency specifications set by EPA and use less energy, which helps to reduce environmental impact.
