New Energy Star TVs Available for Shopping Season

The Environmental Protection Agency proposed raising its Energy Star requirements for televisions earlier this year. Those new requirements will go into effect November 1.

Fortunately, television manufacturers were prepared for the new standards and will be selling qualifying TVs beginning November 1.

These new TVs will be up to 30% more energy efficient. According to the EPA, if all televisions sold in the U.S. met the new Energy Start requirements, we could save $1 billion in energy costs and reduce greenhouse gases equivalent to taking 1 million cars off the road.

If you are interested in buying a new TV during the holidays, make sure to check out Energy Star's website HERE. You can see their requirements and search for models that meet the new standards.
