If you are one of a growing group of people looking to save money around
the home, you should investigate your electricity usage. Reducing the
amount of electricity you use has two advantages: it will help you to
save money and it is a good thing for the environment. A great way to
reduce the amount you spend on your electricity bill is to choose
appliances that are energy efficient.
If you are looking to purchase any new appliances, look for the following things:
The
energy guide: It is a requirement in the United States, according to
the Federal Trade Commission, that appliance manufacturers place labels
on their products which indicate how much energy a particular appliance
uses. This label, known as an energy guide, is most often colored black
and yellow and is able to tell you a lot about the appliance you are
considering. For example, it will indicate the cost of running the
appliance in an average household for a year. It will also indicate the
efficiency rating of the appliance in comparison to similar appliances.
The
energy Star: This is a special logo that companies are able to use for
their products to indicate how energy efficient they are. They are only
allowed to display this Star according to law if the appliance has been
tested and shown to meet or exceed particular energy standards as set by
the government. An appliance with an energy Star can be as little as
20% more efficient than comparable models or as high as 100% more
efficient. As a result, it pays off to purchase an appliance that has an
energy Star: the higher the efficiency rating, the better it is for you
and the environment.
Bigger is not always better. Some people
are of the opinion that they need to buy the biggest appliance
available. These people do not understand that the different sized
appliances are to cater for different sized rooms and the needs of the
people purchasing them. So, if you have a small, galley style kitchen,
it would be a ridiculous waste of money and electricity to purchase the
biggest air conditioner you can find.
You should also examine the
size and needs of your family. If you are a small family of two or
three, you don't need a huge refrigerator, or a giant washing machine,
or a large capacity dishwasher.
