The ENERGY STAR^® Initiative in Canada

The international ENERGY STAR symbol is a simple way for consumers to identify products that are among the most energy-efficient on the market. Only manufacturers and retailers whose products meet the ENERGY STAR criteria can label their products with this symbol. Choosing an ENERGY STAR-labelled product over a conventional model could save you hundreds of dollars in energy costs.

For an energy-efficient household appliance, home heating or office equipment, consumer electronics or other products, look for the following ENERGY STAR symbols:

ENERGY STAR high performance levels are defined for four types of household appliances that must have an EnerGuide label: refrigerators; clothes washers; dishwashers; and room air conditioners.

At any given time there are many rebates and incentives in Canada for selected qualified products with/bearing the ENERGY STAR registered mark, see the web site below for info.
