With Skyrocketing Energy Costs, Airport Home Appliance Touts the Advantages of Switching to Energy Efficient Appliances
Hayward, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 08, 2011
Airport Home Appliance, a Bay Area appliance specialist, knows that investing in a new home appliance can be a tough decision. To save now or to save later? Energy efficient models generally cost more upfront but will reduce the cost of utilities in the long run. The U.S. Department of Energy says that every $ 1 invested in an energy improvement project can save $ 4-7 in energy costs over the lifetime of the new appliance. This is true for all major appliances.
Front-load washing machines, which use less energy and water than top-loaders, can save households up to $ 129 a year on their utilities bill. An energy efficient front-load washing machine has faster spin cycles. This wrings more water out of laundry, meaning less time in the dryer and more savings on energy.
Energy efficient refrigerators contain improved insulation and compressors with more precise controls and defrost mechanisms. These improvements help the refrigerator use 50 percent less energy than one that was made 15 years ago. Households can earn up to $ 72 a year on their utility bill with the purchase of an energy efficient refrigerator.
One great consumer resource that can help with the upfront costs of energy efficient household appliances is the Energy Star program. Consumers can go to http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=rebate.rebate_locator to find rebates in their area.
PG&E will send customers a $ 35 check when they call Jaco Environmental to arrange for the proper disposal of their old refrigeration unit. Jaco Environmental is open Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 6 PM and can be reached by calling (800) 299-7573.
