Energy Efficient Appliances

Chances are, you’ve heard people throw out the term “energy efficient” when talking about housing, the environment, and even money! But what does this term mean? And how does it tie into your home appliances?

Energy efficiency simply means being able to do the same task while using less energy and in the process, saving on money and cutting down on pollution. However, many homeowners don’t even know that many of their own home appliances are using up more energy than they should be.

Back in the day, appliances were huge energy wasters. However, with advancing technology, modern-day appliances are now well-rounded energy savers that help save your wallet and the earth.

Now, we're not saying that you should toss out your current appliance just because it might be on the higher end of the Energy Guide, but there are so many different options for when, and if, you want to make the switch.

Energy Efficient Washers & Dryers

The Bosch 500 Series Heat Pump Dryer is a great option for a dryer that practically stays at the lowest kWh (kilowatt-hour) yearly when compared to most dryers that can run up to three times the energy in that same year. With a standard drier such as this one, you can easily do the job at hand and still save on your bills. With a shorter than normal drying time, you will save big.

Washer

Similarly, the LG Mega Capacity Wi-Fi Enabled Front Load Washer with TurboWash 360° is a great energy saver as it has a yearly cost of $13 while most washers can go as high as $51. Plus, it's got an estimated 105kWh electricity use per year, rating better than most and still not as high as half of the other washers. We love this washer because its large capacity allows you to wash two loads of laundry at one time and it comes equipped with several wash cycles to perfectly clean your clothes no matter the material or soil level.
