HOME COOKING | ||
The kitchen uses a big chunk of your home energy budget. Your refrigerator alone—which is on 24 hours a day— accounts for about 10 percent of the total home electricity bill. So where can you apply energy efficiency in the kitchen? Shopping for a major appliance before the old one breaks down gives you the best chance to find a higher efficiency model with the features you want. The typical refrigerator sold today has more features yet uses less than half the electricity of a comparable model sold in 1980. Choose ENERGY STAR® appliances to ensure greatest efficiency and energy savings. Power$mart Tips : Put the Power in Your Hands
