Best of all the purchase of energy-efficient appliances can help you use less energy, save water and reduce your utility bills.

  • Refrigerators:

    If you have an older refrigerator, it’s likely that it uses more electricity than any other appliance in your home—up to 12.5% of your annual use. Since ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use advanced features such as better insulation and more efficient technology, they can save you up to $100 per year on your electric bill.

  • Clothes Washers:

    Clothes washers are one of the highest energy-using appliances in the average home, after refrigerators. ENERGY STAR clothes washers use 35-50% less water, 50% less energy per load, and save up to $60 a year in energy and water costs.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) “Save More with ENERGY STAR” $50 Instant In-store Rebate for refrigerators and clothes washers is available at the time of purchase at these participating stores:
