ENERGY STAR® room air conditioners use 10% less energy on average.
When the weather heats up, a new ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioner can help you keep your cool AND save energy! In fact, ENERGY STAR room air conditioners use 10% less energy and, on average, cost about $75 per year to run.
What's the benefit of using an ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioner?
New ENERGY STAR room air conditioners come with better materials and clearer instructions to improve sealing and insulation around the unit, so costly and uncomfortable air leaks are minimized. ENERGY STAR room air conditioners with connected functionality offer additional convenience, comfort and energy-savings, including the ability to:
- turn off the unit remotely using your phone or computer;
- schedule changes to temperature settings based on your needs;
- receive feedback on the energy use of the product.
These products are also ‘smart-grid ready’, potentially allowing you to take advantage of special energy bill savings programs some local utilities are starting to offer.
If all room air conditioners sold in the United States were ENERGY STAR certified, the cost savings would grow to more than $350 million each year, preventing more than 6 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually – equivalent to the emissions from over 570,000 vehicles.
