WHAT ARE ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES?

Roughly a third of residential energy consumption is estimated to go to waste. Incorporating modern, energy-conscious appliances can significantly diminish both energy and water wastage. Selecting the right energy-efficient refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers, and dryers can lead to a considerable reduction in daily energy consumption, thereby reducing your carbon footprint.

As part of our interior architecture and design services, we offer tailored recommendations for energy-efficient appliances that seamlessly blend with your new home's needs, aesthetics, and budget. Furthermore, our team provides expert advice on energy-efficient water heaters, HVAC systems, toilets, showerheads, and lighting fixtures.

HOW DOES IT EFFECT HOME COSTS?

When your current appliances are still functioning well, it can be challenging to justify the costs associated with upgrading to newer, more efficient models. However, when embarking on the design of a new home, the advantages of selecting energy-efficient appliances become evident.

Homeowners who have the means and willingness to invest in the most efficient appliances often experience the fastest returns on their investments through substantial reductions in their utility bills. The potential savings vary for each appliance. In some instances, homeowners may be eligible for credits when selecting highly efficient products. Alternatively, opting for new products can serve as an investment in technology and drive industry advancement from a consumer perspective.

Expressing your sustainability goals to our architecture and interiors teams early in the process is invaluable. This allows us to tailor our recommendations and suggest the most suitable products for your new, modern home.
