Saving money can be hard at times, but with the right information in mind, it doesn’t have to be impossible. The U.S. Department of Energy has found that the average American family spends over $2,000 a year on energy costs.

 By replacing outdated and inefficient appliances, families can save money and reduce their carbon footprint.

Consider buying Energy Star-rated appliances, known for their small use of energy, water conservation abilities and overall usage tracking.

 It’s important to keep in mind that a new appliance is not the only fix. By weatherstripping a home and determining heating or insulation issues, energy use can also be reduced.
