Did You Know?
ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers use about 37% less energy and use over 50% less water than regular washers.
Do you have a dishwasher made before 1994? If so, you’re paying an extra $40 a year on your utility bills compared to owning a new ENERGY STAR qualified model. Replace one of these old dishwashers with ENERGY STAR and save enough money to pay for dishwasher detergent all year.
· Save loads of water: A dishwasher built before 1994 wastes about 8 gallons of water per cycle compared to owning a new ENERGY STAR qualified model. Replace one of these old dishwashers with ENERGY STAR and save enough water each week to wash 2 loads of laundry in an ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer.
· Save the environment. Nearly 70 percent of U.S. electricity is generated by burning coal and natural gas, which releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and causes global warming. ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers use less energy than conventional models, which helps combat global warming. By reducing water consumption, ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers also help protect our lakes, streams, and oceans.
