For example, did you know the large appliances in your home, like your refrigerator and laundry machines, can account for more than 13 percent of your home’s total energy usage? That’s why it’s important to find ways to reduce this usage, like investing in smart appliances, keeping appliances well-maintained, and switching to Energy Star-rated appliances.
