What does it mean when there is an ENERGY STAR® symbol beside the EnerGuide rating at the back of manufacturers’ brochures? There are four key differences between the EnerGuide label for major household appliances and the EnerGuide rating for heating and cooling products: The ENERGY STAR symbol, found on packaging, literature, product advertising, and in some cases, products themselves, means that the products are significantly more energy efficient than required under current federal standards. For example, central air conditioning systems with ENERGY STAR exceed existing federal standards by a minimum of 20 percent, and qualifying furnaces exceed minimum standards by 15 percent. This means that the products have a higher level of energy efficiency than standard products found on the market today. By choosing ENERGY STAR qualified products, homeowners can use energy more efficiently, save money on utility bills, help make their homes more comfortable and reduce air pollution without sacrificing the features, versatility or style that they expect from high-performing products.
