Stay cool with ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioners.
When the weather heats up, a new ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioner can help you keep your cool while using less energy than standard models. In fact, ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioners use 20-35% less energy depending on the product class.
Most ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioners include variable speed technology that saves even more energy and quietly keeps you cool, giving you innovation and energy savings in a state-of-the-art room AC.
ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioners come with better materials and clearer instructions to improve sealing and insulation around the unit, so costly and uncomfortable air leaks are minimized. Many models offer connected functionality and are also 'smart-grid ready', potentially allowing you to take advantage of special energy bill savings programs some local utilities offer.

Clothes Washers
Efficient clothes washers can use about 20% less energy and about 30% less water than regular washers.
ENERGY STAR certified front load washers use about 50% less energy and water than a top load agitator washer. In the past decade or so, top load impeller washers, which have a low-profile cone or disc instead of an agitator, have become popular as a more energy- and water-efficient option compared to traditional top load washers. However, compared to a top load impeller washer, front load washers are still about 25% more energy and water efficient.
In recent years, clothes washer technology has seen dramatic improvements in efficiency and functionality. Selecting an ENERGY STAR certified washer gets you premium features and functionality, with the following additional benefits:
- Water savings. New ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers use advanced technology to dramatically reduce water use. Full-sized washers that have earned the ENERGY STAR use 14 gallons of water per load, compared to the 20 gallons used by a standard machine.
- Long live your clothes. Clothes washers with agitators can be rough on your clothes and put them through extra wear and tear. ENERGY STAR clothes washers have sophisticated wash systems that use a variety of methods to lift and tumble your laundry, lengthening the life of often-washed items. Additionally, because they are so gentle, many models can safely clean silk, wool, and other hand-washables.
- Take time out. Without a bulky agitator, there is more usable space in the washer for laundry — especially larger items like comforters. More capacity means fewer loads of laundry each week. What will you do with your extra time?
- Save the environment. ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers use less energy and help us reduce our impact on the environment. By reducing water consumption, they also put less strain on limited water resources.
Refrigerators
Energy efficient refrigerators can use about 8% less energy to keep your food cool and are about 9% more efficient than models that meet the federal minimum energy standards. Efficient refrigerators don’t compromise on performance. They offer features like high-efficiency compressors that create less heat, temperature and defrost mechanisms that help it operate more efficiently, and improved insulation.
Follow these best practices to reduce the amount of energy your refrigerator uses:
- Set the appropriate temperature. Keep your refrigerator at 35 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place your fridge in a cool place. Position your refrigerator or cooler away from a heat source such as an oven, a dishwasher, or direct sunlight from a window.
- Allow air circulation behind the fridge. Leave a few inches between the wall and the refrigerator or cooler, and keep the condenser coils clean if you have an older model. Read the user’s manual to learn how to safely clean coils. Coil cleaning brushes can be purchased at most hardware stores.
- Check the door seals. Make sure the seals around the door are airtight. If not, replace them.
- Keep the door closed. Minimize the amount of time the door is open.
