subject: Why You Care About Green Appliances [print this page] Its ok to be bored of hearing about green this and green that, after all it has been bandied about for a long time now. Being green is an expression that has been backed up by little more than empty promises and meaningless phrases by the government, big corporations and the average man on the street and we wouldnt blame you if you scream out loud the next time you see one more top tips on how to be green.
Having said all that, we all want to save money on the boring stuff and spend it on going out, holidays, clothes, sports, hobbies and nice restaurants, so heres why you do care about green appliances.
Old and out of date home appliances can actually be more reliable than their modern counterparts but you can also pretty much guarantee that when they do break itll be spectacular and its unlikely that repair will be an option at all and if it is itll cost you considerably more than buying a new one.
The other issue with these technological dinosaurs is that they are probably eating up loads and loads of energy and costing you money that you could otherwise be saving or spending on something slightly more exciting than household bills.
If this is the case, its probably worth looking at what your electricity and water bills come out at and then doing some research apart from switching suppliers, seeing how energy efficient your appliances are is probably a better place to start.
The advantage of investing in a home appliance upgrade if your machine is more than ten years old, is that if your new one has any problems outside of its guarantee or extended warranty, fixing the problem probably wont cost you the earth and in fact, if you choose the right appliance repair engineer, itll probably turn out to be a more cost effective option than tipping the faulty appliance.
Washing machine repairs are normally straight forward and fairly cheap because of the low cost of the component parts and as such, the biggest expense for you will probably be the call out and labour charges and thats why its important to shop around for one that comes highly recommended and can give you a good deal trust us, such a person does exist!
