energy-efficient appliances
Low-power home devices
Energy-efficient appliances are household machines—refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners—designed to use less electricity or water than standard models while performing the same tasks.
They typically carry certification labels like Energy Star indicating they meet efficiency standards.
The higher purchase price is offset by lower utility bills over time: We replaced all our energy-efficient appliances when we renovated the kitchen.
