The ENERGYGUIDE: What Is It?

Since 1980, manufacturers of certain appliances have been required to attach EnergyGuide labels to their appliances to give consumers important information about the energy use of the appliance. The labels must be secured to the outside or hung on the inside of the appliance. They are designed to help shoppers choose appliances that use less gas or electricity, cost less to operate and help protect the environment.

The Federal Trade Commission’s Appliance Labeling Rule requires EnergyGuide labels on refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, clothes washers, room air conditioners, water heaters, furnaces, boilers, central air conditioners, heat pumps and pool heaters.
