The kitchen is a busy place and also uses a large portion of the energy you pay for. Whether they use gas or electricity, kitchen appliances use up a lot of energy budget. Meanwhile, the cost of energy becomes more expensive. Here are some tips to conserve energy in your kitchen, make it "greener," and save money too.
How old are your appliances? How efficient are they? If they are old, they are probably not as efficient as they could be. Certainly they are not as efficient as the new Energy Star rated appliances, which have a yellow sticker on them that tells you how much it costs to run them for a year. In a few years, your savings in energy costs may cover what you paid for the new appliance. And the new ones will work better.
