Choosing the right appliance for your home — whether in your kitchen or laundry room — can be a daunting task. There are dozens of models to choose from and finding the right one with the settings, features, look, size, etc., that you desire can seem like an overwhelming task. As you search for the right product, choosing an energy-efficient model should be a priority. By why? Here are a few reasons why you should consider all energy-efficient models in your home.
Your Major Home Appliances Consume a Significant Amount of Energy
The major appliances in your home consume the most energy — right after central heating. This means that when you use old and outdated models, you are using a considerable and unnecessary amount of energy every single month. This is not only bad for the planet but also for your wallet. Here is a look at just how much energy you can save each year by choosing energy-efficient models.
Washer: Up to 50% less energy and 55% less water
Dryer: Up to 20% less energy
Dishwasher: Up to 12% less energy
Fridge: Up to 40% less energy
You Save Money
Keep in mind that the energy costs that we discussed above, all translate to money savings. You pay for the energy you use every single month. By cutting down your energy usage, your utility bills can decrease as well, helping you keep a little more in your wallet. For example, by switching to an energy-efficient dishwasher, you can save up to 12% less energy, which means you save approximately $25 each year just on this one appliance. Think of how much money you can save by upgrading all your major home appliances.
However, keep in mind that the more money and energy you save will depend on the specific model you choose, its size, and your usage. Even just a slight improvement in appliances can make a difference to the planet and to your budget.
