When it comes to shopping for appliances, the choice is endless. The market is full of an incredibly mind boggling array of models, makes, and types. Confused? Here’s help!

Refrigerators

Cold air descends, therefore go for refrigerators with the freezer at the bottom to save energy.

Ovens

There are gas ovens and electric ovens. Generally, electric ovens are preferable unless you live in a remote area with frequent power cuts.

Dishwashers

The first thing to look out for while choosing a dish washer is the water usage and efficiency of the appliance. Choose a model which uses less water per wash cycle over a more trendy looking dish water that requires more water wastage.

Air Conditioners

Look for the correct size and capacity of the air conditioner for your home. Another factor to keep in mind is the energy efficiency. The energy efficiency of air conditioning units is generally depicted in terms of the Energy Guide Label, or EEL. EEL shows energy efficiency of the model with the help of a standardized unit called an EER or Energy Efficiency Ratio. Ask for the EER of your model. The higher the EER, the more energy efficient the model will be. This will not only save your money every month, but is also a great help for the environment.
