 Energy efficient solutions that Maximize Home Buyer Warranty Value |
| Energy-conscientious consumers – fret no more. By shopping for appliances with energy-efficient seals and implementing certain operating guidelines in the household, you are not only doing your part for the environment and saving money; you’re also complimenting your home buyer warranty! |
EnergyStar Appliances
Have you heard of the Energy Star program? Its purpose is to label and identify appliances exceeding federal minimum efficiency standards by around 15-20%. The Energy Star program is a collaboration between the US Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Energy Star appliances are looked upon favorably by home buyer warranty programs. This is probably because these appliances are money-savers (not to mention, less risky) for everyone. Consumers checking out Energy Star models sometimes balk at the showroom prices. But, one has to stop and consider this is the type of big ticket item purchase consumers make with long-term savings in mind. Cojoin this with a home buyer warranty and all angles will be covered.
To calculate actual cost to operate appliances, there are many criteria that are often overlooked. What a lot of people don’t realize is that appliance operation cost also includes the cost of water and the cost of heating that water. In tropical climates, appliances that do not throw off heat can save more energy and money by diminishing the need for escalated air conditioning.
Purchase Price + Operation/Maintenance Cost = True Lifecycle Appliance Cost
When the cost to operate is reduced because your appliance is an EnergyStar appliance, you’ll end up more than compensating for the higher purchase price, in the long run. Your household will be running at full speed, with less drain on the wallet. Your home buyer warranty provider will be less likely to dispute any requests for service when you own EnergyStar appliances. Not to mention, you’re further preserving and maintaining the quality and longevity. Last but not least, you’re doing your part for the environment.
EnergyStar and the Environment
The program was created in 1992 by the EPA in efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and deter global warming. What began as a voluntary effort to thwart the warming effect, focusing initially on computer products, has morphed into a globally successful campaign, expanding far beyond its introductory specifications and having saved over $10 billion in energy costs in 2004 alone.
A home buyer warranty providing coverage on your Energy Star appliances is just the thing for you and your family. Join the masses who have already practiced smart shopping and home maintenance by making energy-conscientious decisions like this.
