Appliances - The EnerGuide Label

A Modern Approach to Selecting Appliances

The direct relationship between choosing the right appliances and helping the environment may not be apparent at first glance, but it is real. What Canadians do at home to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has an important impact on the well-being of their communities, and beyond. Make the right choice - the choice for the future. Buy into energy efficiency with EnerGuide when shopping for new appliances.

The bottom line is when you buy smart, you help your family's finances by reducing household energy expenses and lowering your electricity bill.

Modern consumers look at energy performance first. Appliances are long-term investments with impacts that go far beyond the kitchen or laundry room. In the past, bigger was always better, but experience has shown that energy efficiency is, in fact, the most important feature, and not just for your budget. When you choose energy efficiency you help the environment by cutting emissions that contribute to the problem of global climate change.

Information and voluntary actions are at the centre of our national response to climate change. The EnerGuide program was developed to educate consumers about the importance of choosing the most energy-efficient major electrical appliances. We want to make sure you use the EnerGuide label to save money, contribute to long-term environmental sustainability and promote a better quality of life in your community.
