Global News Morning Weekend stopped by our Richmond Showroom to find out how to get the best energy savings out of your household appliances from Store Manager Drew Farrell.
Remember, ENERGY STAR appliances are only a start. Be sure to understand the energy-saving cycles and features that come with your machine in order to make the most of it.
Tips for Refrigerators
The advancement of fridge technology over the past 15 years means that today’s refrigerators are more efficient than ever. They now come equipped with door alarms to alert you if the door has been open for an extended period of time or improperly closed. And don’t forget to use energy savings features, such as setting your fridge to vacation mode when you go on holidays.
Tips for Washers and Dryers
If you picked up a new ENERGY STAR laundry pair recently, be sure to take advantage of the technological advancements. Front-load washers, for example, spin so much faster than washers from 10 years ago that the moisture from your clothes is mostly wrung out by the time they’re ready for the drying cycle. All you really need to do is toss your clothes in the dryer on a low-to-no heat setting and the cost savings will add up.
