You can buy products that truly make a difference. Products that save you money because they cost less to operate and products that use less energy, so they help to conserve natural resources -- all without sacrificing quality or performance.
An easy way to identify the most energy-efficient products is to look for products that are ENERGY STAR qualified. ENERGY STAR qualified products — home electronics, office products, appliances, and more - prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy - helping us all save money and fight global warming.
A fridge made before 1993 could be costing you over $100 each year to operate. Replace it with a new ENERGY STAR qualified model and cut your related energy costs in half.

Purchasing an ENERGY STAR qualified model rather than a non-qualified model will save you an average of $50 a year on your utility bills. Over the life of your new washer, you'll save enough money to pay for the matching dryer.
A dishwasher built before 1994 wastes about 8 gallons of water per cycle compared to owning a new ENERGY STAR qualified model. Replace one of these old dishwashers with ENERGY STAR and save enough water each week to wash 2 loads of laundry in an ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer.

ENERGY STAR qualified TVs use about 30% less energy than standard units. There are about 275 million TVs currently in use in the U.S., consuming over 50 billion kWh of energy each year — or 4 percent of all households' electricity use. This is enough electricity to power all the homes in the state of New York for an entire year.

If all computers sold in the United States meet the ENERGY STAR requirements, the savings in energy costs will grow to more than $2 billion each year and greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by the equivalent of greenhouse gas emissions from nearly 3 million vehicles.
ENERGY STAR qualified computer monitors/displays use from 25-60% less electricity than standard models, depending on how they are used.
ENERGY STAR printers, scanners, and all-in-one devices cost about the same as standard imaging equipment, but use less electricity. In fact, using ENERGY STAR qualified equipment that meets the new specification (e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax machine) in your home office can save you $115 over the life of the products.
Cordless phones, answering machines, and combination units that have earned the ENERGY STAR perform much more efficiently than conventional units and use about one-third of the energy.
