The Greener Choice

  • ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers use 35 to 50 per cent less water and at least 30 per cent less energy per load than other washers.+
  • This can save you up to $67 per year on electricity and water!
  •  Clothes dryers account for about 15 per cent of household appliance electricity use+ and they can wear down your clothing. Using a drying rack can save energy . . . and your clothes!
  • By using a drying rack for just 25 per cent of the time (instead of your dryer), you could save up to $21 per year on your electricity bill!

Please visit toronto.ca/watereff or call 311 for more details about this and other water efficiency incentives offered by The City of Toronto.

 * Drying racks available while quantities last. Excludes Miele appliances at Caplan's.
** The City of Toronto rebate is subject to certain terms and conditions.
