Know quality when you see it.

All electronics with a SAVE label meet and exceed the stringent ENERGY STAR® specifications. This means these products use less energy and will save you money every time you use them. There is no compromise in quality for energy efficiency. Products that do not meet this specification will cost you more to operate, period. Look for a SAVE label and take home a product that was designed better for you and the environment.

  • Choose a computer that is appropriate for your needs. A computer that will be used for word processing or storing digital photos requires far less power than a computer that will be used for tasks like video-editing.
  • Even when your computer is not in use, it continues to draw power. An ENERGY STAR computer draws a lot less power during "sleep" and "off" modes.
  • Desktops with a SAVE label are the most energy-efficient available.

Home energy savings tips:

  • Turn off your computer when not in use.
  • Set your computer to go into energy-saving sleep mode after 5-10 minutes of inactivity.
  • If you are buying a computer, choose one with a SAVE label.
