Energy Star certification signals efficiency, but the payback depends on the appliance and how much you use it.

Where Savings Are Biggest

Refrigerators and washers run constantly, so efficiency adds up.

Fix: Prioritise Energy Star for the appliances you use most.

A higher purchase price is offset by lower running costs over years.

Fix: Compare the yellow EnergyGuide label estimates before buying.

Utilities and programs sometimes rebate efficient appliances.

Fix: Check for local rebates that shorten the payback period.
