Abstract
The decision to change appliances is typically made when an appliance is no longer functioning properly, but this chapter challenges that approach. Immediately replacing some appliances may be a sound financial and ecological decision. In addition, we discuss the selection of Energy Star® appliances.
Keywords: Appliances, appliance energy consumption, energy star, appliance replacement decisions, fridge, refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, washer/dryer combo, stackable, stackable washer/dryer, dishwasher, closes washer, range, selfcleaning range, cost of appliance, life of appliance, smart appliance, smart grid.
