EnerGuide directory: Energy consumption ratings of major household appliances, 1998 (in English; French)
The EnerGuide Program is designed to help consumers choose home appliances that are energy efficient. The Program has two goals: To protect the environment by reducing the demand for electricity in Canada, and to help consumers spend less money on electricity. Seven categories of appliances have been tested and rated under the program according to their electricity consumption: Refrigerators, freezers, cooking appliances, dishwashers, clothes washers, clothes dryers, and combination washer-dryers. The test results allow comparison of the electricity consumption used by appliance models with similar features, when they are operated under the same conditions. Information in the guide includes appliance brand and label number, other identifying characteristics such as capacity, and yearly energy consumption in kilowatt hours. For dishwashers, hot water consumption is also given.
