I just replaced my 50+ year old gas oven and range. I was amazed at how energy inefficient they are. The flame on the gas burners to not reach the bottom of the pans, so more heat is required to boil water, etc.

The oven gases are exhausted into the kitchen instead of up the exhaust pipe built into the cabinet. That means a bigger air conditioning bill.

We changed our dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washer and dryer to energy efficient appliances….now we are looking at our smaller appliances too. i.e. toaster, blender.

Didn\’t realize that a side-by-side refrigerator freezer takes up 10% more energy than the freezer on top combo.

Thanks for the info!

I am interested in going green with the purchase of my first home and a single home owner on a teachers salary may not suite the me… or will it? How can I begin the transition of going green before I begin to move in? Are there wafhouses that sale reuseable furniture, appliances that are cost friendly, etc.

You say ice through the door refrigerators take more electricity to run. But its much more efficient than opening the door everytime you want some ice!
