The ENERGY STAR® program is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary labeling program: EPA sets energy efficiency specifications and those that meet them can choose to display the ENERGY STAR® logo. In turn, consumers and businesses who want to save energy and money can look for the ENERGY STAR label when making buying decisions.
According to the EPA, since 1992, ENERGY STAR® has saved 5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity and avoided more than $500 billion in energy costs.
ENERGY STAR® air conditioners benefit customers by lowering energy bills through lower energy use and reduce greenhouse gas impacts.
Pairing high efficiency AC with CPA’s Power Response program can help maximize bill savings and lower strain on the electricity grid during peak summer usage.
The cost of an air conditioner will vary by make, model and retailer. Eligible base models start at approximately $350.
Eligible models vary by retailer. See the Qualified Products List for more detail.
See the Participating Retail Store List to find a participating local retailer.
