It’s more important than ever to keep in mind being green and eco-friendly with energy saving ideas!

<\/p>\n

How to Find Your Perfect Energy Saving Appliance<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Measure out a space that will fit the energy saving appliance. Be sure you have room to pass by it and that the door or lid of the energy saving appliance can open and close properly in the space.<\/li>\n
  2. Consider how often you’ll use your energy saving appliances. If you plan on using your energy saving appliance more, it might be better to get a more expensive model or one with a higher rate of energy saving.<\/li>\n
  3. Read the black and yellow energy saving guide tag (pictured in the thumbnail). This tag shows you the projected annual energy use of the energy saving appliance.Basically it shows you how much energy saving you’ll be doing each year! Compare these on different energy saving appliances to get you the most for your money!<\/li>\n
  4. Look for the Energy Star label. \u00a0Energy Star appliances <\/a>are much more efficient at energy saving, and there are loads of benefits!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Optimizing Your Energy Saving Appliances<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Once you’ve got an energy saving appliance, optimize your energy saving and do what you can to upkeep and lessen your carbon imprint. Keep things green and eco-friendly by making sure your energy saving appliance is running at full energy saving capacity!<\/p>\n

    Clothes Washer
    \n<\/strong>Wash your laundry with cold water when possible, and do as many full loads as possible. Hot water heating accounts for 90% of energy usage in your energy saving appliance.<\/p>\n

    Clothes Dryer
    \n<\/strong>Don’t overdry your clothes. Be sure to clean the lint trap \u00a0before you start another load every single time. (Here’s a trick: Put a dry towel into a smaller load of laundry. It absorbs moisture cutting drying time by 25%!<\/p>\n

    Refrigerator
    \n<\/strong>Keep your Fridge at a temperature between 35-39 degrees. Keep all compartments full so as to not have a flux in temperature.<\/p>\n

    Dishwashers
    \n<\/strong>Scrap off food rather than rinse before you put dishes in the washer. The same amount of water is used no matter how many dishes are in a load, so use as many full loads as possible. If you leave dirty dishes.<\/p>\n
