ENERGY STAR Room Air Cleaners

A room air cleaner is a portable, electric, cord-connected appliance that removes fine particle matter from room air.

A typical room air cleaner, operating continuously, uses approximately 800 kWh per year in electricity — this is 50% more than the power used by a new refrigerator!

ENERGY STAR qualified room air cleaners are 35% more energy-efficient than standard models saving consumers 215 kWh/year, or $16 annually on utility bills. These savings could add up to as much as $150 over the life of the air cleaner!

Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

• ENERGY STAR qualified room air cleaners use less energy to remove particles, such as dust and pollen from indoor air.
• Qualified models that offer secondary features such as clocks and remote controls consume less than 2 watts while in standby mode.
• ENERGY STAR specification for room air cleaners measures energy efficiency by using a CADR/Watt ratio. Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is a measure of the amount of contaminant-free air delivered by the room air cleaner. However, please note, the US EPA does not endorse any manufacturer claims of healthier indoor air from the use of this product.

Remember, saving energy prevents pollution. By choosing a room air cleaner that meets ENERGY STAR, you are helping prevent global warming without sacrificing the product quality and performance you expect.
