The Most Efficient Equipment on the Planet, For the Planet
The Energy Star symbol makes it easy to know you’re purchasing a highly efficient product. Once any given appliance has passed the strict testing it is put through, you can rest assured that it’s one that will provide great energy savings. When a product qualifies, it means that its energy performance is in the top 15 to 30 percent for its class.
The following are some of the benefits of Energy Star-rated appliances:
- Energy savings: Qualified models use between 20 and 30 percent less energy than their traditional counterparts.
- Reduced impact on the environment: By using less energy, you cut back on the negative impact your appliances can have on the earth.
- Lower monthly bills: Using less energy also means a significant reduction on your monthly utility bills.
- Performance and quality: These products have undergone the same strict testing as traditional models, so they are guaranteed to have the same or better features and operating ability.
- Certified: Any product that’s earned the label has been tested and certified by a government-approved agency.
