Responsible for the use of hundreds of gallons of water and thousands of watts of power, an inefficient washer can be a problem. Washers that don’t meet Energy Star standards can cost thousands of dollars in water and power consumption in the long run. However, the truly unfortunate consequence of operating an inefficient washer is the environmental impact.
If you own an outdated, inefficient washer, your home’s environmental footprint can be greatly reduced by purchasing and installing an Energy Star compliant washer. Eco-friendly appliances that carry the Energy Star logo have been tested and optimized for the greatest possible energy savings, meaning more savings in your pocket and less impact on our environment.
The misconception is that “efficient” means “inadequate,” assuming a washer that uses less water and power offers less performance. This is simply not true. One example, the Maytag Maxima front-loading washer series can handle oversized loads with ease thanks to Maytag’s exclusive PowerWash system. This Energy Star compliant washer is as eco-friendly and efficient as it is powerful, using up to 82% less water and 86% less power than non-compliant products. Bosch washers use an innovative ActiveWater system, allowing them to wash with the power of 400 gallons of water while only consuming 13.
It’s a simple choice: buy an Energy Star compliant, eco-friendly washer to save your money and your environment.
