Energy Star appliances

Appliances constantly running (refrigerators) and that operate often (washing machine and dryer) use a significant amount of energy in every household.

Every appliance comes with 2 price tags: the purchase price and the cost of operating the product. Sometimes it's hard to look past the purchase price "up front fee" to realize the amount of overall savings possible with a lower operating cost over time. This is true even for non property related products like a hybrid car-- it's a more expensive car but your monthly gas bill is significantly less!

Next time you need to replace appliances, look for products that are Energy Star certified which help to reduce energy and therefore operating cost. An Energy Star certified appliance uses on average 10%-50% less energy than standard models!
