Another Tip To Save Energy & Money...

What about that gorgeous, stainless steel "French Door Refrigerator" you have had your eye on for a while now?

Here is a real good reason to finally buy it... it could actually save you quite a bit of money! Your old fridge is most likely a "Energy Sucker". Simply check EnergyStar.gov and take their test to see how much energy you could be saving by upgrading your fridge... or any other major kitchen appliance for that matter.

According to Energy Star, "a household with Energy Star products uses about 30% less energy than the average household... that's an annual savings of about $570... and rising since energy costs keep going up".

Thanks Phyllis-you're so right, it sounds like it pays for itself. I'm in Ontario, Canada and we have the highest electrical cost in the Country. Maybe it's time I go shopping??

You are right! Energy-efficient appliances can help cut down utility costs...as well as installing updated light fixtures that are energy-efficient. Eventually, I'd like to replace my old windows with more energy-efficient ones.

Phyllis,

Upgrading a refrigerator can definitely save money. I am going to wait until mine just want go anymore. I figure the more I save in delaying a purchase the better the technology will be when I need one.
