It does not matter where you live, whether it is Canada or the US, you want to save on your appliance electric usage. After all, it is all of those little things that add up to be something big. My husband and I recently did the math and found that if we were using energy star rated appliances for all of our small appliances, then we would save about $13 a month. That is just on the small stuff, imagine what we could do with an energy star washer and dryer, our family would actually be able to save a little money. How nice would that be for you?
