If every room air conditioner sold in the U.S. was ENERGY STAR qualified, it would prevent 1.2 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions - the equivalent emissions from 100,000 cars. Earning the ENERGY STAR means a product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
- Among other benefits, ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners use at least 10% less energy than conventional models.
- ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners often include timers for better temperature control, allowing you to use the minimum amount of energy you need to cool your room.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution, which benefits us all. By choosing to purchase only energy saving air conditioners that are ENERGY STAR qualified, you are helping prevent global warming and promoting cleaner air without sacrificing product quality and performance.
