Buying Appliances & Reading EnergyGuide Labels
Consider the energy efficiency of the item along with the sale price. Your purchase decision will affect your electric bill month after month and for years to come. An efficient appliance reduces the amount of energy consumed. The higher purchase price on newer, more efficient models will often be recovered by lower monthly bills.
Look for the yellow and black EnergyGuide labels on most major new appliances. EnergyGuide labels allow you to compare estimated annual operating costs between comparable models in order to select the most efficient appliance for your money.
Federal law requires that EnergyGuide labels be placed on all new water heaters, refrigerators, freezers, clothes washers, dishwashers, and room air conditioners. (EnergyGuide labels are not required on ranges, microwave ovens, and clothes dryers because their energy consumption does not vary significantly between models.) Links to Other Sources:
