MARICH INC
The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the whole house. You manage and organize everything from the kitchen, from daily cooking to huge gatherings. Therefore, it is very important to make energy-efficient changes to your kitchen because this is not only an environmental need but also brings a lot of positive impacts to your life, such as lower energy bills. Here are some energy upgrades you must do while remodeling your kitchen to make it more energy-efficient
Appliances
Installing the new appliances is everyone’s priority while remodeling the kitchen. Most of the modern appliances nowadays are energy star rated, which makes them more efficient for your kitchen. Some of the best appliances for your energy-efficient home can include.
- Refrigerators
- Dishwashers
Refrigerators
Old refrigerators cost more energy, along with offering inefficient cooling systems. Replacing your outdated fridge with a modern fridge can help you save a lot of energy. You must ensure that your refrigerator has an energy star while choosing the new one.
Modern refrigerators also feature advanced options to store your food better, and you can also find WiFi connectivity and remote control temperature options for your convenience. You can also make your refrigerator more energy efficient by not opening the fridge door unnecessarily.
Dishwashers
Dishwashers are an essential part of the kitchen, but using the old model dishwasher costs you extra electricity and water. Upgrading to the new model dishwasher not only makes your kitchen more energy efficient but also provides updated features and better results for cleaning dishes.
These dishwashers are energy efficient, and you can save a lot on electricity bills by upgrading to the latest version. You should also only plug the wire into the electric socket when you need to use it for better results.
Cooking Appliances
Installing the gas or propane for your stovetop or oven can be a little expensive at first, but it is the one-time cost that will make your kitchen really energy efficient. They are efficient and work better than an electric oven.
Also, modern appliances are very advanced, and you can get different electric appliances, such as food factories and air fryers, by checking out whether they are energy efficient. Using energy-efficient appliances will also help you maintain these appliances for the long term because they won’t be using high-voltage.
Lighting
Replacing your ordinary light bulbs with LED lights is a great way to upgrade your lifestyle to a more energy-efficient way. LED lights are not only energy efficient but also work great as decorative lights for your kitchen, and you can style them in many different ways. In addition, LED lights have a longer life span, and you can create a great ambiance using them.
Plumbing
Efficient plumbing is really important while remodeling your kitchen. You should also upgrade your water heater and adjusts its temperature according to the weather. There are many components or appliances you can get installed professionally to help you save in the long term.
Tips to Make Your Kitchen More Energy Efficient
Whether you are remodeling your complete kitchen hardware or only looking to work on the energy section, there are many ways to help you to make your kitchen more energy efficient.
Upgrading the Oven
The old traditional ovens consume a lot of extra electricity; that’s why your first step should be upgrading your oven to the modern model, or you can also use energy-efficient microwave ovens for baking or cooking purposes.
Keep the Refrigerator Door Closed
You must make sure that the fridge door is closed correctly because sometimes when the door is left slightly open, it causes energy wastage and also affects the refrigerator‘s performance. It is also essential that you avoid opening the fridge every other minute. Start being conscious of this issue, and you’ll notice a significant change in some time.
Unplug the Kitchen Appliances
Make your daily practice unplugging the kitchen appliances when you’re not using them because the appliances still use energy when plugged in, even if the switches are turned off. This can have a significant impact on your energy bills, so this will help you save both energy and money.
