Step-by-Step Guide
Select Clothes Washers
Energy-efficient clothes washers use about 25% less energy and 40% less water than conventional models. They can also cut drying time and reduce wear-and-tear on clothing with gentler cleaning action.
Select Electric Clothes Dryers
Energy-efficient electric clothes dryers use 20% less energy than conventional models. They also use sensor drying instead of timed drying, which helps reduce energy use by shutting the dryer off when clothes are dry.
Select Refrigerators
ENERGY STAR® certified refrigerators use up to 15% less energy than standard, less-efficient models. That can add up to $150 in electricity savings over the lifetime of your fridge. Qualifying models must be 10 to 30 cubic feet.
Select Dehumidifiers
ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers use 15 percent less energy than conventional modes to remove the same amount of moisture from the air. You could power a refrigerator for three months with the energy you can save in a year running an efficient dehumidifier.
