The yellow EnergyGuide label is the perfect tool for the energy- and cost-conscious comparison shopper because it clearly indicates annual energy use and/or operating costs and can be found affixed to water heaters, clothes washers and many other large appliances. Its important to remember, however, that an EnergyGuide label alone does not necessarily indicate that an appliance is energy efficientto spot appliances that sip energy (and to avoid ones that gulp it!), youll need to find and compare the labels on each of the appliances you are considering. |
When you see the ENERGY STAR label you know youre getting an appliance that uses substantially less energy than other appliances in its class. Energy savings will vary from appliance to appliance and person to person but can add up to $50, $100 or even more per year. Many ENERGY STAR qualified appliances are eligible for utility rebates in California. For lists of ENERGY STAR qualified appliances, visit www.energystar.gov.
