By offering a means for consumers to buy products more energy-efficient than required by law, ENERGY STAR saves money for consumers by offering buyers more options in energy-efficient products. The Department supports enforcement of ENERGY STAR to preserve the viability and effectiveness of the ENERGY STAR program. Through independent testing, we help to verify manufacturer certifications of the efficiency or energy use ratings of their appliances and ensure that manufacturers provide the increased energy and cost savings they advertise.
