EspañolCheaper Electricity Bills With Energy Star Appliances
3rd Habit of Energy-Efficient Homes
Energy Star appliances are important for saving money in your home. The 1980s saw the private ownership of computers explode, and with it came more demands on our energy system. In 1992, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) created the Energy Star program to slow down the drain of electricity caused by computers http://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/construction/green/energy-star.htm.

Back in that day, the Energy Star label stated that the computer was the most energy-efficient in its category. Today the same goal has spread to other appliances found in your home, including refrigerators, dishwashers and clothes washers.

What are the benefits of using a product qualified as “Energy Star”?
- Money back in your pocket – Energy Star products save you up to 30% on your electric bills http://www.ase.org/resources/top-5-reasons-be-energy-efficient.
With appliances counting for roughly 20% of an American family’s energy use https://www.energystar.gov/, that’s a lot of money that comes straight back to you each month.
- Products of better quality that last longer – In order to use less energy, manufacturing companies create products with better components. This means fewer disasters, like losing all your frozen food because your freezer suddenly stopped working.
- Less air pollution – The Dallas/Fort Worth area ranks among the most polluted cities in the United States http://mashable.com/2014/04/30/most-polluted-cities-us/. Power plants often burn fossil fuels to provide energy for our homes http://www.energyeducation.tx.gov/energy/section_3/topics/where_does_electricity_come_from/index.html. This in turn produces air pollution. By using Energy Star products, you reduce the number of pollutants that we breathe every day.
Still not convinced? Look at these numbers showing the energy savings of four Energy Star appliances vs. other models:
- Refrigerators – At least 15%
- Dishwashers – At least 41%
- Freezers – At least 10%
- Clothes Washers – At least 40%
As time goes on products that aren’t Energy Star will probably be phased out of our stores. Yet it still makes financial sense to check the label of that new dishwasher. The benefits can’t be denied.
