Our service representative here at Smith Appliance Center shared your letter regarding energy guide labels. I would like to provide you with a short summary of guide label information so that you may prepare your class for the upcoming presentation. Energy guide labels are required on furnaces, refrigerators, freezers, water heaters, clothes washers, dishwashers, and room air conditioners as of May 19, 1992. The goal of these yellow and black labels is to help consumers make an energy efficient appliance choice. The information on the energy guide label should be considered along with purchase price when choosing a new appliance.
Many times energy efficient models have a higher purchase price but cost less to operate.
Some consumers do not realize the impact of lower operating costs over the lifetime of the appliance. I hope this general information can be of help to you. If you have any more questions after our service representative's presentation, feel free to call on us. When writing a business letter, try to organize the information into three or more basic paragraphs. The first paragraph should give an indication as to the letter to follow.
