You’ll save more than just money!
  • High efficiency clothes washers use up to 55% less water than standard washers. 
  • By replacing old, inefficient toilets with WaterSense labeled models, the average family can reduce water used for toilets by 20 to 60 percent—that's nearly 13,000 gallons of water savings every year!
  • High efficiency washers also use less overall energy so cost savings may be seen on both your water/sewer and electricity bills!
