Energy Efficiency

We often get asked whether our appliances are energy efficient. Our response is that the best option for reducing global carbon imprint is to extend the life of existing appliances.

Consider the energy and resources it takes to produce a new appliance and then to transport it into our community. Then consider the energy needed to transport your old machine out of our community and have it recycled. This energy consumption is infinitely larger than the extra energy used by an already manufactured local machine.

The average life expectancy of a large appliance is about 15 years. If we extend the life of these appliances by five years, we can reduce the need to produce new machines by 25%!

If you do buy an energy efficient appliance, be sure to bring your old machine to Appliance Depot. Buying used is sometimes the only affordable option for others in the community.
