The Energy Guide
When shopping for new appliances, follow these simple steps to
make sure you're getting the most for your money:
Step 1: Read the black-and-yellow Energy
Guide label on the items you're considering.
This label is required on most major appliances and allows
you to compare different models by
- price
- operating costs and
- energy efficiencies.
Here is an example of an Energy Guide label, highlighting
the key information you should look for when comparing various
models. It's important to note that some guides may look different
than this one, but all provide the same basic information
to help you in your buying decision. |
