Energy Efficient Appliances

Energy Efficient Appliances include appliances like Refrigerators, ovens, dish washers, Washing Machines and Dryers that can cut your energy bill in half. If your refrigerator or washing machine is more than a decade old, you're spending a lot more on energy than you need to. Today's major appliances don't hog energy the way older models do because they must meet minimum federal energy efficiency standards.

These standards have been tightened over the years, so any new appliance you buy today has to use less energy than the model you're replacing That’s what is so great about Energy Efficient Appliances. For instance, if you buy one of today's most energy-efficient refrigerators, it will use less than half the energy of a model that's 12 years old or older.

Of course, Energy Efficient Appliances don't just save you money; they're good for the environment. The less energy we all use, the lower our demand on power plants, which means less pollution. The trick is to figure out which models use the least energy. Many of the most energy-efficient appliances cost more initially, but they'll save you money in the long run. Expect to keep most major appliances between 10 and 20 years.
