Save on Tomorrow's Electric Bill by Investing in Energy-Efficient Appliances
Today
Energy-efficient appliances and space conditioning equipment do cost more up
front. However, over the life of an appliance, your energy savings could more
than offset what you pay. When the average American household spends more than
$1,000 a year to run appliances and heating and cooling equipment, that's a real
opportunity for savings. When shopping for new appliances:
- Check the yellow-and-black Energy Guide for
annual operating costs. Compare these costs among competing
brands and models of similar size and features. When considered along with
the purchase price, you can estimate how much you will save over the life of
the appliance. Of course, how you operate and maintain any appliance will
determine the amount of energy you save. To recoup your costs as quickly as
possible, follow these energy conservation tips.
- Refrigerators and freezers are among the most
energy-hungry appliances in your home. Make sure they run
efficiently. Clean condenser coils regularly, remove frost build-up, and
replace worn door gaskets.
- Use the energy-saver settings on
refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines and clothes dryers.
- Use microwave ovens, whenever possible, to cook,
defrost and warm foods. They're cheaper to operate and can reduce
air conditioning costs.
