Laundry

From the unintentional splattering of cranberry sauce to gingerbread cookie-baking mishaps, the clothing stains of the holiday season are a special challenge. Choosing ENERGY STAR this holiday season can save you money without any sacrifice in performance.

Clothes washers and dryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR deliver superior efficiency and performance by incorporating advanced features. You can save approximately $550 over the lifetime of an ENERGY STAR certified clothes washer and even more with an ENERGY STAR washer/dryer pair.

• Big savings. Clothes washers that have earned the ENERGY STAR use about 30% less water and about 20% less energy. Clothes dryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR use approximately 20% less energy than standard models.
• Make a difference. If all clothes washers sold in the U.S. were ENERGY STAR certified, we would save more than $3.3 billion each year and prevent more than 19 billion pounds of carbon pollution annually. This is equal to the emissions from 1.8 million vehicles.
• Switch to a heat pump. ENERGY STAR certified heat pump dryers are the most energy-efficient type of dryer on the market and use around 70% less energy than conventional clothes dryers., saving more than $500 in electricity costs over the life of the product.
• Consider a combo. The latest innovation in laundry means you do your laundry all in one machine. These all-in-one units allow you to wash and dry a single load of laundry in 1.5–2 hours without needing to transfer the load.  You get the efficiency and savings benefits of both an ENERGY STAR certified clothes washer and heat pump dryer, helping you save $130 in annual utility costs.
