ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices - such as Appliances, Heating & Cooling, Home Electronics, Lighting, Office Equipment, and Home ratings.
Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved $19 Billion on their utility bills and prevented greenhouse gas emissions equal to that from 29 million cars, according to the program.
Going green can save you more money: Manufacturers of ENERGY STAR products often provide rebates for purchasing their products, and buyers become eligible for additional federal tax credits. Also, recycling incentives are often available for the proper disposal of old products.
