Why should I purchase energy efficient appliances or make energy efficient home improvements?
The more energy efficient your home is, the less it costs to heat and cool and the lower your utility bills are. The same goes for the appliances in your home, the more efficient they are, the lower your utility bill will be.  Using less energy is also good for the environment because it helps reduce air pollution and conserve natural resources.

Where can I purchase ENERGY STAR® appliances and qualifying water heaters?
Qualified products can be found in most stores.  Some retailers have partnered with ENERGY STAR® to train their sales staff about energy efficiency so that they can provide you with advice about purchasing energy-efficient products for your home and office.  To find an ENERGY STAR® store, visit www.energystar.gov.   

What is ENERGY STAR®?
ENERGY STAR® is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency.  Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR®, saved enough energy in 2005 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 23 million cars — all while saving $12 billion on their utility bills.
