Whirlpool Canada today was awarded the 2012
ENERGY STAR® Manufacturer of the Year award by Natural
Resources Canada (NRCAN).
The award recognizes the company's leadership in offering consumers energy and water
efficiency through its leading home appliance brands.
The NRCAN Manufacturer of the Year award
evaluates multiple product lines when determining the winner — making it a very
comprehensive honor. This is Whirlpool Canada's ninth ENERGY STAR award and
fourth consecutive Manufacturer of the Year win, earning that award for the seventh
time in 10 years. Whirlpool has been honored with 25 ENERGY STAR awards overall
in North America, more than any other appliance manufacturer.
"As Manufacturer of the Year, we are proud
of our commitment and support for the ENERGY STAR program in Canada,"
said Joe
Liotine, vice president and general manager, Whirlpool Canada.
"Providing ENERGY STAR qualified products to Canadians is a crucial
component to our business, and one we will continue to prioritize in
partnership with the ENERGY STAR program in Canada."
As the market leader in efficiency, Whirlpool
has made energy and water consumption a priority, and as a result, has driven
innovation especially in High Efficiency Top Load Laundry units. In Canada,
Whirlpool specifically offers some of the most water- and energy-efficient
kitchen and laundry products that are on the market. In 2011,
Whirlpool Canada achieved a new company record for ENERGY STAR
qualified major household appliances manufactured in Canada.
It also set new records for shipments of ENERGY STAR refrigerators and washers
last year. Both milestones helped it qualify for the Manufacturer of the Year
Award.
The company manufactures and markets over 470
ENERGY STAR qualified appliances for the U.S. and Canadian markets, more than
any other appliance manufacturer. Product launches and other innovations from
2011 include:
-- Three new ENERGY STAR-qualified
platforms were introduced in 2011. The platforms meet the Tier 3 high
efficiency criteria set by the Consortium
for Energy Efficiency.
-- Whirlpool Canada introduced a new
premium line of top mount refrigerators. More than three-quarters of the models
qualified for the ENERGY STAR logo.
-- Maytag brand delivered an award-winning
advertising campaign during Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts
of the Stanley Cup playoffs, resulting in an unprecedented number of
impressions and sales of the Maytag Maxima that was featured in the
ads.
-- Whirlpool Canada placed high priority
on training sales associates about ENERGY STAR-qualified products. The company
increased the number of trained associates by double digits and dedicated 80
percent of training content to ENERGY STAR.
-- Social media was also given much attention in
2011 and the Whirlpool brand increased its number of Facebook
users to 65,000/month. This was done in part by posting energy saving tips and
integrating Facebook with the company's Great Green Challenge, which allows
Canadians to connect with other families who are trying new ways to conserve
energy.

The first step is to install a dehumidifier. This device will remove humidity from the air and lower the overall moisture content in your environment so that condensation cannot form as easily. If you have one already, make sure it’s running properly and check its settings regularly. https://www.k2hvac.com
