The cost on the label is based on a national average price for electricity and the average use of the appliance.1 Your individual cost will depend upon the price you pay for electricity rate and how often you use the appliance.

Why Should I Buy ENERGY STAR® Appliances?

The ENERGY STAR® standards are more rigorous than federal standards, and vary by product category.2 To receive the ENERGY STAR® label, a product must meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

Depending upon the energy-efficient choices you make, your family may be able to save up to 30% on your energy bill (with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions) without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR® is one tool that can help you make an energy-efficient choice when purchasing appliances.
