Going Blue

One of the biggest ways you can “go green” is by going blue. That is, the blue label of an ENERGY STAR qualified appliance! At Happys Appliances, we offer the energy-efficient appliances that make your home as energy-efficient as possible. Learn more about ENERGY STAR qualified appliances and discover how upgrading your old appliances can actually have a positive impact on your wallet, as well as the environment.

Energy Hogs

That old fridge in the garage may be great at chilling your man-cave beverages but it’s terrible at using energy efficiently. While you may have hoped that keeping that old appliance around instead of replacing it would save you some mula, here are some stats that are about to blow your mind. As the biggest offender of energy use, a refrigerator from the 1970s could be costing you an extra $200 a year to run than a new model. An ENERGY STAR refrigerator uses 50 percent less energy than that refrigerator from 2001 and a washer from the mid-1990s could be costing your family an extra $110 to run per year!

What is ENERGY STAR?

ENERGY STAR is more than a little blue sticker you find on the corner of an appliance. It is a recognized and trusted label that represents the certification that the product meets the energy-efficiency requirements set by the EPA. Sounds pretty professional, right? These products use less energy to help reduce greenhouse emissions that contribute to climate change. The best part is these appliances that have earned the ENERGY STAR label help you save both energy and money without ever sacrificing on performance. Not only will you be enjoying the money saved in your pocket and the peace of mind that you’ve become a friend to the environment, you also get to enjoy incredible features and advanced technologies of today’s modern appliances. In 2016, consumers and businesses were able to save over $30 billion in energy costs by switching to ENERGY STAR products and practices.

Save Today

When shopping for home appliances there are two price tags to look for – what you pay for at the register and what you will pay in energy costs to operate them. By combining advanced technologies with premium features, ENERGY STAR appliances are able to offset initial costs through energy savings over the lifetime of the product (think long-term!). According to ENERGY STAR, the average household equipped with ENERGY STAR approved appliances can save up to $400 a year in energy costs!

So remember to shop at Happys Appliances and look for the blue ENERGY STAR label to be on your way to savings today!
