How does appliance efficiency benefit the United States?
Appliances play key roles in US homes, businesses, and institutions; from lighting schools to cooking dinner, 340 million people in the US rely on appliances to turn energy into action.
Energy-efficient appliances are proven tools to keep people healthy and productive. By lowering energy demand, efficient appliances slash energy bills and reduce strain on energy grids, making life more affordable and service more reliable for communities across the country.
