Energy Efficient Appliances

Question: Isn’t it more eco-friendly to buy a newer more energy efficient appliance?

Answer: Often, no.  It may seem like it makes more sense to buy a newer, more efficient appliance, but once you factor in the waste produced by getting rid of your old appliance, and the much shorter life cycles of the newer appliances, it is doubtful that any real energy savings exists in the big picture. The most durable appliances are not the most efficient ones, in most cases.
