ENERGY STAR® Products

The typical household spends more than $2,100 a year on energy bills. With ENERGY STAR®, you can save over one-third or more than $700 on your household energy bills.

In 2011 alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR®, prevented about 210 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions -– equivalent to the annual emissions from 41 million vehicles—and saved $23 billion on their utility bills.

What is your average monthly energy bill?

Heating and cooling costs the average homeowner about $1,000 per year – nearly half the home’s total annual energy bill. Depending on where you live, replacing your old heating and cooling equipment with energy efficient products can cut your annual energy bill by more than $200.

What is Eco Options?

I am often asked “What is Eco Options and why does The Home Depot have this program?” The Eco Options program identifies products that have less of an impact on the environment than comparable standard products. Our intentions are to make it easier for customers to identify which purchases will help them reduce their environmental impact.
