What appliances can display the ENERGY STAR symbol?
Only products that meet the strictest specifications of premium energy efficiency qualify for the ENERGY STAR label. When you see this symbol on a product, it means it is highly energy-efficient.
Why?
Because in addition to being among the best in its category, an ENERGY STAR labelled product reduces your energy consumption, which saves you money!
Whether it's for the kitchen, family room, office, laundry room, or for heating or lighting, Hydro-Québec recommends that you look first for products with the ENERGY STAR symbol.
Aim for efficiency and savings!
When you buy compact fluorescents or household appliances, choose ENERGY STAR qualified products.

For high efficiency lighting, look for ENERGY STAR!
Even though all compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are energy-saving products, they aren't all equally efficient. Only if they display the ENERGY STAR symbol can you be certain that they're the best in their class.

Enjoy the benefits!
ENERGY STAR compact fluorescents offer
- longer lamp life,
- brighter light and
- performance that exceeds government standards.
Did you know that lighting accounts for 5% to 10% of your household electricity bill?
To save energy and money, buy lighting products bearing the ENERGY STAR label.
Superefficient household appliances!
Some of the biggest energy users in your home are major appliances. All the more reason to invest in ones that are ENERGY STAR qualified.
They exceed federal energy performance standards by 10% to 50%, depending on their category.

Take an ENERGY STAR labelled refrigerator: it has an energy-efficient compressor and better insulation, so it uses at least 15% less energy than the standards require.
An ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer has an advanced high-speed motor that extracts more water from clothes, so they dry faster, which saves energy.
And since it also uses 35% to 50% less water than required by federal standards, you have another great reason to choose a clothes washer bearing the ENERGY STAR symbol.
