What You Need to Know About New Appliances
Summary:
Investing time in researching appliances can lead to significant energy savings for homeowners.When choosing a new clothes washer or dishwasher, consider models that meet the 2007 Energy Star criteria. These energy-efficient appliances not only reduce costs but also benefit the environment by cutting down on energy and water usage.
For instance, Energy Star-qualified washers, whether front-loading or modern top-loading models, incorporate advanced technologies that save a considerable amount of energy and water. Typically, a household does around 400 loads of laundry annually, using over 13,000 gallons of water. By choosing an Energy Star-approved washer, homeowners can save $60 on utility bills and conserve over 7,000 gallons of water each year. These modern machines, lacking the bulky agitators of older models, offer more space for large laundry items, allowing for bigger loads and fewer wash cycles. Some can handle over 20 pounds of laundry at once, compared to the 10 to 15 pounds that conventional top-loaders manage.
By conserving energy, these appliances also help protect natural resources. The latest washers treat clothes more gently, using a tumbling motion in a small amount of water. This gentler method extends the life of garments and reduces lint, allowing for safe cleaning of delicate items labeled hand-wash only.
Efficient Dishwashers:
New dishwashers are also increasingly efficient, potentially saving consumers over $26 million annually on utility bills. An Energy Star-qualified dishwasher can conserve enough water each year to fill more than 160 standard water coolers. If all dishwashers sold in 2006 had met the Energy Star standard, the water saved could fill over 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
For those who usually wash dishes by hand, switching to an Energy Star dishwasher can lead to even greater savings. Research from Ohio State University indicates that the average person uses 24 gallons of water to hand-wash a full load of dishes, while an Energy Star-qualified dishwasher uses just seven gallons, saving over 3,500 gallons annually.
In summary, choosing Energy Star-certified appliances is a smart move for homeowners looking to save money and contribute positively to the environment.
