The EnergyGuide label (yellow), managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), is a required label which estimates the annual energy consumption for an appliance and provides some information about whether that use is above or below the average for that type of product. The dollar amount at the bottom of the EnergyGuide is the estimated yearly operating cost based on the national average cost of electricity.
If you need another copy of the EnergyGuide label, check your retailer or manufacturer's website. EPA's ENERGY STAR Program is not able to provide EnergyGuide labels.
The ENERGY STAR label (blue) is the government's symbol for energy efficiency. It helps consumers easily recognize highly efficient products, homes, and buildings that save energy and money, and help protect the environment. The ENERGY STAR logo is often incorporated into the EnergyGuide label for certified products.
