DEHUMIDIFIERS ENERGY STAR ® SALES ASSOCIATE TRAINING

ENERGY STAR qualified products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by: The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) The US Department of Energy (DOE) ENERGY STAR Saves energy Reduces pollution Saves money WHAT IS ENERGY STAR?

WHAT ARE ENERGY STAR QUALIFIED DEHUMIDIFIERS? ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifiers have more efficient refrigeration coils, compressors, and fans than conventional models. This means they use less energy to remove moisture -- at least 10%, and in some cases up to 23% less. The efficiency of the ENERGY STAR qualified units range from 1.20 to 1.85 liters of moisture removed per kilowatt-hour of energy and more than 2.25 for higher capacity units. A non-qualified unit removes as little as 1.0 liters of moisture per kilowatt-hour.

SAVING ENERGY EQUALS SAVING MONEY ENERGY STAR qualified products use less energy and cost less to operate resulting in: A 50-pint ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifier can save consumers roughly $20 per year. Over the 11-year life of the unit, this can add up to more than $200, enough to pay for the dehumidifier. In fact, the energy saved by a dehumidifier that has earned the ENERGY STAR could power your refrigerator for 6 months!

WHY SAVE ENERG? SAVING ENERGY HELPS PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT Help Protect the Environment If every dehumidifier sold were ENERGY STAR qualified, it would prevent more than 200 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year, equal to the emissions of more than 12,000 cars.

WHY BUY ENERGY STAR? Save money without sacrifice ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifiers remove the same amount of moisture as similarly sized conventional units, but use % less energy and thus are less costly to operate. More efficient moisture removal by dehumidifiers that have earned the ENERGY STAR can make a room feel cooler in the summer months and less clammy in the winter months.
