Energy Efficiency in the Kitchen
Every kitchen owner should understand the importance of energy efficiency. Not only does it help reduce energy costs, but it also lowers overall energy consumption. By measuring and tracking a kitchen appliance’s energy usage, you can identify opportunities to save both energy and money.
The first step is to calculate the energy costs for all household appliances. Generally, larger single-use appliances like ovens and refrigerators consume more energy than multi-use appliances such as microwaves or dishwashers. Comparing the energy costs of these appliances with the energy fees set by your provider will help you make informed decisions.
With a bit of preparation and effort, you can make running your kitchen as efficient and affordable as possible!
