Various energy efficiency standards for everyday appliances like gas stoves and dishwashers are estimated to cost the typical U.S. household over $9,100.

A consumer watchdog has calculated that the Biden administration’s war on appliances such as gas stoves, in the name of climate change, would cost the average American household over $9,100.

In an infographic titled “Biden’s Dream Home,” the nonprofit Alliance for Consumers puts price tags on the Biden administration’s various proposals for new energy standards for all kinds of appliances found in homes, including air conditioners, washing machines, and gas stoves.

This year, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Department of Transportation (DOT) have announced a range of proposed rules that will make household appliances more expensive and, asย some experts contend, are designed to force Americans to give up their current appliances.

For example, under the DOE’s proposed natural gas stove rule, an estimated 90 percent of gas stoves would have to be redesigned, with reduced performance and raise the upfront cost of stove products by around $32 million per year.

The list goes on, as enumerated in the DOE’s so-called Unified List of appliances targeted with new energy efficiency standards, with some in the “proposed rule stage” and others in the “final rule stage.”

While the list is longโ€”including microwave ovens, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers, and pool pumpsโ€”the Alliance for Consumers has picked a selection of what seems to be common equipment found in the average American home, end estimated the cost of the regulatory burden the Biden administration has imposed or is looking to impose on them.

“Welcome to Biden’s Dream House, where the American dream just got significantly more expensive,” the group wrote in a post on X, along with an infographic that reveals some of the price tags.

Detailed Costs

Overall, the estimated cost of Biden administration policies on the typical U.S. family is estimated to be $9,166.
