Start Saving With Your Next Appliance Purchase
Did You Know? Appliances can account for about 12% of your home’s energy costs. Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances can help save you money on energy bills month after month. Also, if every appliance purchased this year were ENERGY STAR® certified, we would prevent greenhouse gas emissions equal to those from 215,000 cars—and save $360 million in annual energy costs.
Start saving energy and money today by upgrading to ENERGY STAR®certified appliances and make your home more energy-efficient.
Refrigerators
Flip your old fridge to a new ENERGY STAR® certified model that saves energy and money, while helping you do something good for the environment.
