ENERGY STAR appliances are often recommended as what to look for when upgrading or purchasing new appliances. But what is Energy Star, how does this label really affect our lives and how important is this for our home and world today?

The ENERGY STAR program was introduced in 1992 by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a voluntary labeling program to help identify and promote energy efficient products and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Computers were the first to be labeled but over the years, more products were included; from office equipment to heating and cooling and home appliances.

The official ENERGY STAR web site states:

“Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2009 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 30 million cars — all while saving nearly $17 billion on their utility bills.”

To earn the ENERGY STAR label, a products energy consumption and performance is verified with testing. These products must then deliver the same or better performance as comparable models in addition to using less energy and saving money. ENERGY STAR products can lower high energy bills and improve comfort while providing energy efficiency.

Considering an ENERGY STAR appliance for your next home or office purchase can mean savings without sacrificing quality or performance and continuing to do your part for our environment. Number1direct.com is proud to carry and now, provide extra savings on ENERGY STAR appliances from brands you know and trust like GE, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Viking and more.

You can learn more about the ENERGY STAR program and products at www.energystar.gov.
