FOR ENERGY GUIDE LABELS
Federal law requires a bright yellow EnergyGuide label to be placed
on many types of home appliances, including refrigerators, freezers,
dishwashers, and clothes washers. This label allows the consumer
to estimate how much a particular appliance will cost to operate
each year and to compare this cost among similar appliances. The
comparison scale on the EnergyGuide shows the least and most energy
used by comparable models. The labeled model is represented by
an arrow pointing to its relative position on that scale. Choose
a model that is more energy-efficient and has a lower operating
cost than the least efficient model of the product class.
Although operating costs shown on the EnergyGuide are calculated
using a national average energy cost, the local actual operating
cost can be easily estimated by multiplying the local energy rate
by the estimated energy use of the appliance as listed on the
EnergyGuide.
