Kpix 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts on the ucberkeley study that may change how you shop. Reporter theres a bright yellow label that many rely on when picking out new appliances. They are supposed to tell you how much it will cost in energy each year, just one problem. The label is wrong. Reporter this economics professor has been studying these federally mandated energy guide labels and he says dont count on them to be akra. They show information thats based on National Average electricity prices. Reporter and in many states like california, connecticut, new york, hawaii, Energy Prices run to twice as much as of the National Average. People have no idea how much they spend for electricity so they dont know how to make the conversion. Reporter but the conversion is simple. When in doubt, double the estimate. So an appliance estimated to cost you 67 a year will actually run you closer to 135 same for the dryer, refrigerator and any other appliance youre in the market for. But davis points out accurate or not the labels serve a good purpose. Side by side, they can help you decide which appliances save the most energy and money even if youre not saving as much money as the label would have you believe. We found that those people that saw the better labels made better decisions. They saved money, a lot of money. Reporter now, davis presented the idea of the statespecific labels to the ftc which they thought it was a good idea but too expensive. He developed a label with a qr code that would tailor rates per state something he hopes regulators will soon consider. Another bit of info we could use. Reporter and save you a little money.

We have this low pressure system still due off to our west. The great thing is that the winds are flowing counterclockwise around low pressure. They always do. But because the low is due west of us, were tapping into more juicy air coming up and hitting los angeles, san diego, Orange County all the way up to the bay area. Tomorrow, the same thing except the actual low is going to be closer. So the atmosphere will be more unstable. Widespread rain will happen again. Winds will be stronger tomorrow.
