Make Your Kitchen a Model of Efficiency0
GE Works
Want to save energy, time, and money? Your appliances can help.
The kitchen accounts for over 25 percent of electricity use in the average US household. GE’s ecomagination Kitchen is a suite of refrigeration, cooking, and dishwashing appliances that offer improved energy efficiency compared to standard kitchen appliances. Our ecomagination appliances can help reduce electricity consumption in the average US kitchen by as much as 20 percent.
The 2.5 million ecomagination kitchen products sold in 2010—including GE’s ENERGY STAR ®-qualified refrigerators and dishwashers and GE’s Double Oven Electric Ranges—were designed to make a difference. The energy they save could avoid over 130,000 metric tons of associated CO2 emissions on the US grid per year. That’s equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of over 25,000 cars on US roads.
