In our rush to update/upgrade our home appliances to be more energy efficient, we still have a lot of learning to do (and decisions to make). This article highlights a number of factors that should be taken into consideration before you pull the plug or demo that interior wall, including:
- Electric vs. gas
- How long to keep using existing appliances
- Consider your house as a system of appliances and not just one-off devices
- ENERGY STAR compliant equipment
- Check the Amperage for power-hungry products
- Get the right size for the job
- And more great tips!
