Appliances - What's New

EnerGuide is an Office of Energy Efficiency initiative that helps consumers purchase the most energy-efficient equipment on the market. We strive to increase public awareness of the link between energy and the environment and to promote the opportunities opened up by energy-efficient technology.

In 2001, EnerGuide teamed up with ENERGY STAR^® to help consumers find the most energy efficient refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers and room air conditioners on the market. An appliance receives the ENERGY STAR rating if it is significantly more energy efficient than the minimum government standards, as determined by standard testing procedures. The amount by which an appliance must exceed the minimum standards is different for each product rated, and depends on available technology. To find ENERGY STAR rated products, go to the EnerGuide Ratings page. ENERGY STAR rated products are always among the most efficient available today.
