It doesn't matter if you are trying to save the earth, save money or both; energy efficiency pays. It is like getting paid cash to make your home a better place to live. Many energy-efficient appliances, devices and heating or cooling systems cost no more than their inefficient counterparts. While some cost more, the extra cost is easily recouped in a few years.
When you buy an appliance, you pay more than just the sales price. It is a commitment to paying the cost of operating the appliance for as long as you own it and the dollars can add up quickly. For example, the operating cost of a refrigerator over 15-20 years can be more than the initial purchase price. A 75-watt light bulb will cost about $6 to operate over the course of its short lifespan.
