Appliances
Q: Does ACEEE recommend and/or sell appliances?
A: The organizations listed below provide information on energy-efficient products. We recommend working with experienced contractors who will select and install appliances accurately; this improves their efficiency. ACEEE does not rate or sell appliances.
For home appliances, including kitchen appliances, laundry equipment, room air conditioners and electronics, consult the ENERGY STAR qualified product listings. Select the product and then look for "product list" at the right side of the page. For clothes washers and dishwashers that are even more efficient than ENERGY STAR, visit the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE)’s qualifying product lists.
For furnaces and boilers, consult ENERGY STAR as described above or go to GAMA's certified product directories.
For water heaters, go to GAMA's certified product directories.
For central air conditioners and heat pumps, search the CEE Directory of ARI Verified Equipment. You can limit your search by selecting higher "tiers" of efficiency under "CEE Tier" and selecting the proper size (cooling capacity) for your home (if you have that information).
Q: How do I find tax credits for energy-efficient appliances?
A: Visit the Tax Incentives Assistance Project for information on tax credits.
