 Federal law requires a yellow EnergyGuide label on all major appliances sold in the US. These labels help us to determine how much an appliance will cost to operate and how it compares to other models. The next time you shop with your parents for a major appliance, look for the EnergyGuide label. |
Major appliances last 15-20 years
and can cost thousands of dollars in operating costs. This
chart shows the yearly electricity use and cost for several appliances
based on national averages.
