What Makes a Product ENERGY STAR?  

ENERGY STAR products are the same or better than standard products, only they use less energy. To earn the ENERGY STAR, they must meet strict energy efficiency criteria set by the US Environmental Protection Agency or the US Department of Energy. Since they use less energy, these products save you money on your gas and electric utilities. They also help protect the environment by causing fewer harmful emissions from power plants and petroleum production. 
Some examples:
* Qualified refrigerators are at least 15% more efficient than the minimum federal efficiency standard.
* Qualified TVs consume 3 watts or less when switched off, compared to a standard TV, which consumes almost 6 watts on average.
* Office equipment that qualifies automatically enters a low-power “sleep” mode after a period of inactivity.
* Qualified light bulbs (CFLs) use two-thirds less energy than a standard incandescent bulb and must meet additional operating and reliability guidelines.
* Qualified furnaces offer a rating of 90% AFUE or greater, which is about 15% more efficient than the minimum federal efficiency standard.
* Qualified insulating products can provide as much as 20% or more in energy cost savings.
