Appliance Solutions

Appliances and electronics account for 21% of the typical household’s energy consumption, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Upgrading to high-efficiency appliances can help reduce energy use for years to come.

Clothes Washers

According to ENERGY STAR®, the average U.S. family washes about 300 loads of laundry each year. ENERGY STAR® certified models use about 20% less energy and 30% less water than non-certified washing machines. Choosing a high-efficiency model can save the average household nearly $360 over the lifetime of the unit.
