*With all of the different certifications out there it can get very confusing as to what they all mean but we love to help clear away the confusion around the environmental certification programs.
Energy Star is a government-backed certification system that label products that contribute significant energy savings nationwide, deliver outstanding performance and be either price competitive to alternatives or make up the price difference between them and their less-efficient counterpart through utility bill savings. While you often see this label on appliances and electronics it is also used for other materials such as roofing products, windows and insulation and even plumbing products.
High Efficiency products are those that use less resources than their alternatives, energy or otherwise. You often see the HE label applied to clothes washers because they use less water and consequently less energy because you don't need to heat, pump and clean as much water. However, it can also be used on other products that use resources in a more eco-conscious way. If you still have questions about these certifications just contact us and we'll help guide you through them.
