EPA announced that Energy Star certified clothes dryers are now available nationwide. About 45 models of dryers earning Energy Star label, including Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, LG, and Safemate, are at least 20% more efficient and available at prices comparable to standard dryers. If all residential clothes dryers sold in U.S. were Energy Star certified, Americans could save $1.5 billion/year in utility costs and prevent GHG emissions equal to electricity use from more than 1.3 million homes.
