Washer and Dryer
Clothes washers and dryers are the third biggest energy users in your home after heating, cooling and hot water.
Switching to ENERGY STAR® certified appliances can save up to 30% on energy costs and 5,500 pounds of greenhouse gases.

ENERGY STAR washers and dryers use about 33% less water and up to 25% less energy than standard models.
ENERGY STAR certified washing machines use significantly less water—13 gallons per load—compared to 23 gallons per load in standard machines. Many models include additional energy-saving features, including faster spin cycles, and options for pre-soaking and suds-saving.
ENERGY STAR certified dryers use 20-60% less energy than standard dryers. They use moisture sensors to more accurately stop the dryer when clothes are dry, compared to traditional timed drying. Other energy-saving features can include automatic cycle termination, delayed start, and steam cycle.
When shopping, be sure to check a model’s efficiency rating. The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the product. Look for washers that have a rating of 2.76 or higher (called IMEF, or Integrated Modified Energy Factor), and dryers that have ENERGY STAR certification.
