ENERGY AND APPLIANCES Replacing an old appliance with a new one can do more than enhance one’s decor. With today’s energy efficient models, it can save hundreds of dollars over the lifetime of the new appliance. Some appliances, such as ranges and dryers, have always operated efficiently. Others, such as microwave ovens and trash compactors, use such little energy that savings on new models is minimal. But when it comes to refrigerators, washers and dis hwashers, most IS to 30 year old models can be classified as energy guzzlers compared to their newer versions. Savings in operating costs, along with the benefits of new design, technology and fea tures, many make them good can didates for early replacement. For example, a refrigerator manufac tured today uses about 47% of the energy that its 1972 counteipart consumes. For washing machines, the figure is about 28%. based on 8 cycles per week; for dis hwashers, about 30%, based on 6.2 cycles per week.

The Depart ment of Energy has ruled that these newest models must improve their energy efficiency ratio to an average of 25% higher than present models. To determine the true cost of a new appliance, consider the purchase price as only the down payment Multiply the yearly cost of operating the appliance by its life expectancy and add this figure to the purchase price. To help con sumers gauge die yearly cost, the Federal Trade Commission has developed rules for labeling appliance energy consumption. Look for the black, yellow and white Energy Guide label in the form of a hangtag, flaptag or stick er. This label will display a single estimated annual cost figure based on “typical use.” To maintain energy savings, the new appliance should be used effi ciently. Read and follow the man ufacturer’s fecommendations. In addition, the new appliance should really replace the old one. If the old one is simply moved to a new location and used as a “spare,” its high monthly operat ing expense continues. MODERN DINING GROUP Table plus 4 chairs in Black or Rose.
