Appliance upgrades that help you save energy — and money.
Ready to boost efficiency and cut energy costs? ENERGY STAR® certified appliances help you save money, reduce energy waste and improve the overall performance of your home — one upgrade at a time.
Updating your appliances can be an upgrade for your savings.
Appliances like refrigerators, ranges, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers account for nearly 15% of your home’s electricity use. Replacing outdated models with ENERGY STAR certified options can significantly reduce energy use.
Refrigerators
Today’s ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators use up to 15% less energy than non-certified models and 35% less than models sold in the early 2000s. That adds up to long-term savings.
- Better insulation and compressors improve efficiency.
- Enjoy features like zone temperature control, moisture sensors, auto-close doors, hands-free autofill and more.
- Modern design and technology in a wide range of sizes and styles.
Washing machines
ENERGY STAR certified washing machines use about 25% less energy and 33% less water than conventional models. They also spin clothes more efficiently, which means reduced drying time and lower overall energy use. Tip: using cold water works just as well and helps you save even more on energy costs.
- Use less water and energy with every load.
- Faster spin cycle speeds reduce drying time.
- Gentle on clothes and fabrics.
- Save about $530 in energy costs.
