What is ENERGY STAR and how does the Energy Guide label really work?
ENERGY STAR is the trusted, government-backed symbol for energy efficiency, helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices. It was established to:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants caused by the inefficient use of energy.
- Make it easy for consumers to identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing performance, features and comfort.
ENERGY STAR units are more power-efficient and consume less energy for the same performance levels, which can be translated into lower utility bills for you.
