Appliance Saving Tips


Refrigerators:
At 9% more efficient you’ll save more than $200 over the lifetime of an ENERGY STAR certified refrigerator.*
Buyer Tip: The most energy efficient models are typically 16-20 cubic feet. Keep that in mind when looking at size.


Freezers:
Replacing your old freezer with one that has earned the ENERGY STAR rating can save you $195 over the next 5 years.*
Buyer Tip: Chest freezers typically offer more space and use less energy because the door opens from the top and less cold air escapes.


Clothes Washers:
ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers use about 25% less energy and 33% less water than regular washers because of features like temperature and water level control, presoaking, and high-speed cycles.*
Buyer Tip: These features not only save energy but help you save on water costs as well.


Clothes Dryers:
ENERGY STAR certified dryers use 20% less energy and save you $215 in lifetime energy costs.*
Buyer Tip: Moisture sensors and automatic cycle termination keep your dryer from running unnecessarily.


Air Purifiers:
At 60% more efficient than standard models that translates to saving over 500kWh and $60 per year on utility bills. Those savings can add up to $490 over its lifetime!*
Buyer Tip: Size and placement make a difference in optimum performance of air purifiers!

ENERGY STAR EV chargers use approximately 40% less energy than standard models when in stand-by mode.*

Vehicles that drive more than 40 miles per day or are a fully electrical vehicle typically need a Level 2 charger. Level 2 chargers are on average 10% more efficient than Level 1 chargers.
