WASH is proud to be an ENERGY STAR Partner. We offer energy-efficient commercial machines from top manufacturers such as Speed Queen and Maytag. These products, that earned the ENERGY STAR rating, prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
It is estimated that ENERGY STAR clothes washers use approximately 35 percent less water and 35 percent less energy than standard models. Available in either front-load or redesigned top-load configurations, both options include advanced conservation features. If you replaced 20 conventional commercial washers with ENERGY STAR qualified units, each year you could save approximately 69,496 thousand gallons of water.
*Based on the energy savings calculator developed by the U.S. EPA and U.S. DOE provided for estimating purposes only. Actual energy savings may vary based on use and other factors.
At WASH, our common-area multifamily laundry rooms are proven to conserve water. A national study revealed residents of apartments with in-unit laundry hookups used more than three times as much water for laundry than residents in apartments with a shared laundry room. In-unit laundry also uses five times more gas and electricity.
WASH is proud to be Lead-Safe Certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). That means that our technicians have been specially trained to help prevent lead exposure when conducting renovation, repair and painting activities.
Having your dryer vents cleaned on a regular basis makes a big difference in your dryer’s performance and it is better for the environment. For dryers to work, they need good airflow. Improper installation and lack of professional vent cleaning not only impacts your dryer’s performance, it also increases CO2 emissions. It is estimated that a dirty vent with airflow restricted by 25% can increase CO2 emissions an estimated 850 lbs. annually.
