Make Your Home More Energy Efficient

Today’s electric appliances are designed to use less energy. By comparing appliances’ EnergyGuide labels, you can find energy-efficient products within your price range.

 

Reduce Your Energy Bill

Energy-efficient technology can help lower your energy usage, which can translate into savings on your energy bill. For example, you’ll save an average of 15-24% energy by switching to an electric heat pump water heater.

 

Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Gas appliances can create indoor air pollution from burning fossil fuels in a closed environment. By switching to electric appliances, you’ll reduce pollutants like carbon monoxide that can exacerbate respiratory and other health issues.

 

Help the Environment

Lowering greenhouse gas emissions reduces your environmental impact. You can reduce your carbon footprint even more by shifting your usage to daytime hours, tapping into clean energy sources like solar and wind.

Electric Appliances for Your Home

 

HVAC Heat Pump A/C System

HVAC Heat Pumps

HVAC Heat Pumps, also called Heat Pump Air Conditioning Systems, provides a more cost-effective, energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home by moving heat rather than creating it. Unlike propane and natural gas heating systems, these conditioning systems provide good air filtration and dehumidification for better household air quality.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

You may not realize it, but your water heater can be the second-highest energy user in your home behind your heating and cooling system. The latest electric heat pump water heaters can be up to three times more energy-efficient than standard electric ones, helping you save long-term. Newer models also let you customize your settings based on your lifestyle.

Induction Stoves

Electric stoves are easier to clean, safer to use, and provide a more even cooking surface than gas stoves. Chefs in residential and commercial kitchens especially love induction stoves, which instantly turn on and off when cookware is placed on or removed from the stovetop. This means you can cook with more accurate heat control, and you’ll see an immediate response when you change the temperature.
