Most Efficient Appliances for 2017

Everyone looks for ways to save money. Shopping for appliances can be daunting and confusing. To help you choose the best appliance for your home, the ENERGY STAR program helps sort out the details.

The Environmental Protection Agency now has the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2017 list of products that list energy efficiency and technological innovation information. Products rated include clothes washers and dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, ventilation fans, heating & cooling units, ceiling fans, computer monitors, and a variety of windows.

Besides annual energy use figures, the information includes cost of the item from low to high and online stores options for shopping. Appliances that use water show annual water usage.
