ENERGY STAR® Appliances
ENERGY STAR®-labeled appliances save energy,
save money and help protect the environment.
Since appliances and home electronics combine
for more than 40% of your home’s energy use,
look for the ENERGY STAR® when purchasing
refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers,
dehumidifiers and room air conditioners. They're
made by manufacturers you know and trust, and
meet high standards for energy efficiency and
quality, which means they use less energy
without sacrificing performance.
ENERGY STAR® -labeled refrigerators,
dehumidifiers and room air conditioners utilize
energy-efficient condensers and other special
features to use at least 10% less energy than a
comparable standard new unit and can save you up
to 50% of the energy compared to that of a
10-year-old unit.
ENERGY STAR® clothes washers and dishwashers
not only use at least 10% less electricity, but
have features that also save on water heating
and consumption. Before purchasing a new
appliance, learn more about ENERGY STAR®
appliances, including information on the latest
incentives and promotions available for WMECO
customers.
Along with saving money, less energy also
means less pollution. If just one in 10 homes
used ENERGY STAR®-qualified appliances, the
change would be like planting 1.7 million new
acres of trees.
