ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2013 in Canada

The energy star logo is a world-recognized symbol for energy efficiency and kindness to the environment. Seeing an Energy Star sticker on an appliance can give peace of mind to us as consumers because it is an assurance that the manufacturer of the device has gone through great lengths to make sure that we get the best bang for our energy buck.

The use of the Energy Star symbol in Canada is promoted and monitored by the Office Of Energy Efficiency – a part of Natural Resources Canada. Every year, NRCan and the US Environmental Protection Agency released a list of the best performing products among all those that made the Energy Star cut. These are typically awarded to products that go above and beyond what is required to ensure that the least amount of energy is wasted, usually by employing the best technology available.

We are proud to say that a handful of our products made the cut into the top list this year. This is an incredible achievement and we are very proud, because we have been installing these products for years now and we stand by their quality and performance. Here, then, are the Energy Star Most Efficient 2013 products that we carry:
