ENERGY STAR appliances: typical energy use by category

ENERGY STAR is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's voluntary certification for energy-efficient appliances. Each category below pulls the real certified-model count, the typical range and the most efficient model straight from the EPA's own public dataset — not a page per model, but the numbers that actually answer "how much does this use" and "what counts as energy star certified".

Before you compare models

Como ler este número

ENERGY STAR is a certification, not a ranking

A model either meets the category's efficiency threshold or it does not — ENERGY STAR does not rank certified models against each other beyond that. The "most efficient" figure on each category page is the lowest value in the dataset, not an official ENERGY STAR award.

De onde vem o dado

U.S. EPA, data.energystar.gov — collected 2026-10-09

Every figure on this page and the category pages comes directly from the EPA's own Socrata dataset, under the EPA Data License (U.S. government data, public domain).

Cuidado

Markets and standards vary by country

These datasets cover models sold in the U.S. (some also in Canada). A model certified here may not be sold, or may be certified under a different standard, outside North America.

O que fazer com isso

Confirm the label on the exact model

Brand, capacity and features change the real number a lot. Always check the EnergyGuide label or the manufacturer's own spec sheet for the exact model you are considering.
