Saving Energy at Home - How to Find Energy Star-Certified Products and materials and reduce energy waste at home

Saving Energy at Home - EPA's Energy Star Program

Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment. Please join us in making a change. We can all begin with the following five energy efficiency recommendations:

1. Put your home to the test. Find out where your home has room for improvement with ENERGY STAR 'S Home Improvement Toolbox available at www.energystar.gov.

2. Change a Light. Replace your five most frequently used light bulbs with products that have earned the Energy Star.

3. Heat and Cool Smartly. Have your system checked annually and install an Energy Starlabeled programmable thermostat so you are not paying to heat or cool your house when you are not at home.

4. Seal it up. Keep the warm air in and the big energy bills out of your house by following Energy StarHome Sealing recommendations for adding insulation to your home and weather-stripping and caulking around doors and windows.

5. Look for the Energy Star. When you are in the market for home electronics, major appliances, office equipment, heating and cooling systems, windows or even a new home, choose one that has earned the Energy Star.

Energy Star for your Home

The average home produces more air pollution than the average car. Whether looking to replace old appliances, remodel, or buy a new house,Energy Star can help.

HowEnergy Star Helps

TheEnergy Star label on products for the home
