Energy Star Clothes Washer

ENERGY STAR labeled clothes washers use superior designs that require less water to get clothes thoroughly clean. These machines use sensors to match the hot water needs to the load, preventing energy waste.

Front-Loading: ENERGY STAR qualified models are similar in design to washers used in laundromats. These horizontal-axis or tumble action machines repeatedly lift and drop clothes, instead of moving clothes around a central axis.

Top-Loading: Some of these ENERGY STAR qualified washers use sensor technology to closely control the incoming water temperature. To reduce water consumption, ENERGY STAR labeled top loading clothes washers spray clothes with repeated high pressure rinses to remove soap residues rather than soaking them in a full tub of rinse water.

A typical household does nearly 400 loads of laundry per year, using about 40 gallons of water per full load with a conventional washer. In contrast, a full-sized ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer uses 18-25 gallons per load. You could save 7,000 gallons of water per year or more. And, you are saving all the energy that would have been needed to heat the water. This adds up to savings for you and a big boost for the environment.

ENERGY STAR labeled clothes washers come in a range of capacities from about 1.6 cubic feet up to 3.1 cubic feet. A typical large-capacity washer found in most households is about 2.7 cubic feet. Because washers are most efficient when they are fully loaded, you should choose a size that most closely matches your laundry needs. For a family that does a lot of laundry, one of the larger models probably makes the most sense. For an individual or couple who does less laundry, a small model will be the most economical. Some ENERGY STAR labeled models can be stacked or mounted under a counter top. This is a useful feature for people short on space, such as apartment dwellers. Check with the manufacturer to see which models are available in this configuration.

Energy Star Dishwasher

ENERGY STAR labeled dishwashers save by using both improved technology for the primary wash cycle, and by using less hot water to clean. Construction includes more effective washing action, energy efficient motors and other advanced technology such as sensors that determine the length of the wash cycle and the temperature of the water necessary to clean the dishes.

Significant savings can be realized by minimizing the amount of hot water needed. The water temperature in a dishwasher should be at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit to clean your dishes. The ENERGY STAR qualified models with internal water heaters boost the water temperature inside the dishwasher. This allows you to turn down the thermostat on your household water heater to 120 degrees, reducing your water heating costs by 20%.

Using your dishwasher's heater to dry dishes consumes a significant amount of energy. Federal law requires that all new dishwashers have a no-heat drying option. This is often called the "energy saver" feature. This takes a little longer, but dries the dishes as well as the energy-guzzling heat drying operation.

CPI offers a $25 rebate for ENERGY STAR dish washers if your house has an electric water heater. Click here to find a list of qualifying ENERGY STAR dish washers. Contact us at 541-929-8520 or 800-872-9036 x 8520 for more information.

Energy Star Refrigerator

ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators require about half as much energy as models manufactured before 1993. ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators provide energy savings without sacrificing the features you want.

Earning the ENERGY STAR


ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator models use high efficiency compressors, improved insulation, and more precise temperature and defrost mechanisms to improve energy efficiency.

ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator models use at least 15% less energy than required by current federal standards and 40% less energy than the conventional models sold in 2001.

Many ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator models include automatic ice-maker and through-the-door ice dispensers. Qualified models are also available with top, bottom, and side-by-side freezers.

 

CPI offers our customers a $25 rebate for the purchase of an Energy Star Refrigerator.
