Save energy and the environment

You will benefit from using less energy, reducing your energy bill and contributing to positive environmental impacts. Look for the ENERGY STAR label on appliances; it identifies the most energy-efficient appliances.

ENERGY STAR clothes washers

• Use 35% less energy than standard models.
• Use 30–50% less water than standard models.
• Spin two to three times faster than standard models during the spin cycle and extract more water, which means less time and energy is used in the dryer.

ENERGY STAR refrigerators and freezers

• Use 10–20% less energy than standard models.
• Have high efficiency compressors, improved insulation (in doors and exterior walls), more precise temperatures and defrost controls.

For more information on ENERGY STAR appliances, visit the Natural Resources Canada Office of Energy Efficiency.
