Laundry
The average American family washes about 300 loads of laundry each year.
ENERGY STAR® certified clothes washers, dryers, and combination all-in-one washer-dryers can help families cut their related energy and water costs.
To maximize your energy savings make sure to choose the right size unit for your capacity needs. A load that is too small for your unit will use the same amount of energy of a full load – and too large of load will take the unit longer to complete its cycle, using more energy.
Buying matching washer and dryers sets ensures you can properly size your loads as a set is designed to have similar sized load capacity – an ENERGY STAR certified laundry set can use 25% less energy and 33% less water on average.
Better yet, a combination all-in-one washer-dryer can save you up to $130 a year in energy costs as you benefit from both ENERGY STAR certified washer and heat pump dryer technology – and you won’t even have to swap drums to start the drying cycle!

Clothes Washers
ENERGY STAR® certified clothes washers use about 20% less energy and approximately 30% less water while also having a larger tub capacity. This is achieved by utilizing sophisticated wash systems that flip and spin the clothes through streams of water and high pressure sprayers instead of soaking the clothes in a full tub of water. Additionally units that have earned the ENERGY STAR label spin clothes two to three times faster to extract more water, which means less energy is used to dry the clothes as well.
If you are looking for added savings, front load models use about 45% less energy and 50% less water than a typical top load agitator model.
There are two different rebate tiers available for ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers. The rebates tiers are specific to the ENERGY STAR deemed efficiency level of your purchased unit
- $25 rebate on ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers
- $50 rebate on ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2021 certified clothes washers
Clothes Dryers
Clothes Dryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR label use approximately 20% less energy than standard models through innovative energy saving technologies, such as moister sensors that detect when clothes are dry and automatically shut the dryer off. Many ENERGY STAR dryers also include convenient features, such as steam cycles that can help save time on ironing clothes by preventing wrinkles.
For even more savings, consider an ENERGY STAR certified heat pump dryers – they use almost 70 percent less energy than a conventional dryer and can save more than $500 over the products lifetime. Heat pump dryers take in ambient air, heat it, and then recirculate it in the dryer to maintain the temperature without using much energy. Heat pump and hybrid heat pump models are eligible for our higher tiered rebates.
