Award-winning ranges and cooktops recognized for significant greenhouse gas reduction
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – April 20, 2022 – Electrolux announced that four of its Frigidaire brand induction ranges and cooktops have been awarded the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2021-2022 ENERGY STAR® Emerging Technology Award (ETA). These induction ranges and cooktops have been recognized for their significant greenhouse gas reductions driven by energy efficiency.
“Sustainability is at the heart of the experiences and solutions Electrolux develops,” said Nolan Pike, head of Electrolux North America. “Not only are we developing products that make your food taste better and clothes cleaner, but they also eliminate food waste and extend the life of your favorite clothing.”
The winning appliances include:
- Frigidaire Gallery 30” Front Control Induction Range with Air Fry
- Frigidaire Gallery 30” Freestanding Induction Range with Air Fry
- Frigidaire Gallery 30” Induction Cooktop
- Frigidaire Gallery 36” Induction Cooktop
Electrolux has long been a globally recognized leader in sustainability and the company is furthering that leadership with its ambitious 2030 sustainability targets, including becoming circular and climate-neutral in its operations. These new induction ranges and cooktops represent the next step in meeting its 2030 targets by bringing innovations to consumer kitchens that make clean-up easier, have faster cooking times, more precise temperature control and are more energy efficient.
These four award-winning cooktops meet the EPA’s rigorous performance criteria to reduce energy use and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The per-unit efficiency of induction cook tops is about 5-10% more efficient than conventional electric resistance units and about three times more efficient than gas, according to ENERGY STAR.
“The ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award is given to products that are on the cutting edge of environmental performance. Congratulations to Electrolux for its leadership in bringing four new induction cooktop models to the market. We look forward to working with them to promote these super-efficient products to consumers nation-wide,” said Ann Bailey, Director, EPA ENERGY STAR Products Program.
