Top Energy-Saving Alternatives
Factors to Consider When Selecting Energy-efficient Appliances
- Energy Star certification: One of the first things to check is whether the appliance carries the Energy Star label. Energy Star is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE), which sets energy efficiency standards for various products. Appliances with the Energy Star certification meet the strict energy efficiency criteria set by these agencies, ensuring that they consume less energy compared to non-certified models
- Energy efficiency rating: We recommend checking the appliance’s energy efficiency rating before making a purchase. Many appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines, come with a standardized rating system, such as the EnergyGuide label in the United States or the European Energy Label in the European Union. These labels provide information on the appliance’s energy consumption and efficiency, allowing you to compare different models and choose the one that best fits your energy-saving needs
- Special features and innovations: While energy efficiency is crucial, it’s also essential to consider other features that can optimize energy savings. Look for appliances with smart technologies, such as sensors and programmable settings that help regulate energy usage based on your needs. For instance, some smart thermostats can learn your heating and cooling preferences and adjust accordingly, saving energy in the process. Likewise, appliances with high-quality insulation, dual-pane windows in refrigerators, or quick-cooling options in ovens can contribute to energy efficiency as well
