Over the holidays many of you will get new appliances for
around your home. One of the things you will see when you are shopping is the
Energy Star Ratings. We have many people ask us what this is, so we thought we
would explain it to you.
ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money
and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. 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. ENERGY STAR products are the same or better than standard
products, only they use less energy.
To earn the ENERGY STAR, they must meet
strict energy efficiency criteria set by the US Environmental Protection Agency
or the US Department of Energy. Since they use less energy, these products save
you money on your electricity bill and help protect the environment by causing
fewer harmful emissions from power plants. And you get the features and quality
you expect.
We hope this helps you as you shop this holiday season. As
always if you have any questions please give us a call!
