More stars equals more savings
When buying new equipment, you need to know how many rating stars are used on each type:
- Dishwashers, computer monitors, washing machines and dryers are rated from 1 to 6 stars.
- TVs, refrigerators/freezers and air conditioners are rated from 1 to 10 stars.
Regardless of whether the equipment goes up to 6 stars or 10 stars, when it comes to ‘Energy Rating’ labels, remember that more stars equals more savings.[1]
