Energy Efficiency

What is ENERGY STAR?

Products that earn the ENERGY STAR use less energy and prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. With energy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, Erol's Plumbing & Heating is committed to offering solutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.

ENERGY STAR not only saves you money, it helps protect the environment

The typical household spends $1,900 a year on energy bills. With ENERGY STAR, you can save nearly $600 on energy bills. By choosing [Brand] ENERGY STAR qualified [PRODUCT], you can save you up to $x annually on your energy bills.

But more than saving energy, ENERGY STAR also makes a difference for the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice the greenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a light switch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your air conditioner, you use energy, which means more greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency, the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming and it helps you save money.
