Savings: $4.30 per month*

Follow these tips below to save on energy with your clothes washer.
  • Use the cold or warm wash, cold rinse option on your washing machine.

  • Wash full loads.

  • Buying a new clothes washer? Horizontal-axis washers use less water and energy than standard top-loading models. Look for models with the Energy Star® label.
