What's ENERGY STAR for Room Air Conditioning?

Did You Know?

If every room air conditioner sold had earned the ENERGY STAR, it would prevent 900 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually, equivalent to the emissions from 80,000 cars.

Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. By choosing ENERGY STAR qualified heating and cooling equipment and taking steps to optimize its performance, you can enhance the comfort of your home while saving energy. Saving energy helps you save money on utility bills and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change.

ENERGY STAR qualified room air conditioners:

* use about 10% less energy than conventional models, which could mean a savings of more than $60 over the lifetime of the unit.
* often include timers for better temperature control, allowing you to use the minimum amount of energy you need to cool your room.
