What to look for when <br /> purchasing appliances. <br /> SYMBOLS OF EFFICIENCY <br /> ENERGY STAR® <br /> ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency <br /> (EPA) voluntary program that helps businesses and individuals <br /> save money and protect the climate through superior energy <br /> efficiency. Appliances that are ENERGY STAR® rated save you <br /> money in two ways: they use less energy and they may qualify <br /> for rebates from Elk River Municipal Utilities. These appliances <br /> may cost a little more, but they're worth it. The additional <br /> I'JERGY sTAR cost is quickly paid for with energy savings and rebate funds <br /> from ERMU. Next time you are shopping appliances, look for <br /> the ENERGY STAR® logo.
