ENERGY STAR Clothes Washer (E)

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, about 90 percent of the energy used for washing clothes in a conventional top-load washer is for heating the water. If you are considering purchasing a new washing machine, look for the ENERGY STAR and EnergyGuide labels. ENERGY STAR clothes washers clean clothes using 50 percent less energy than standard washers.

Buy a qualified ENERGY STAR clothes washer and get $50 off your purchase from your participating utility through a mail-in rebate.
