Electrical Appliances where one can save Electricity, while home renovating.

There are several high energy use (inefficient) electrical appliances, where one can save heaps. These include the Hot Water Electric Kettle, Tumble clothes dryer, Dishwasher, refridgerator, Electric oven, Electric hot plates, Electric Air Conditioner, Electric Hot water heater, Idle computer and Printer time. These are the high energy use appliances. I suspect, with the likely rises in electricity prices we will all be carefully considering the use of the above appliances, checking their Energy Star ratings.
I know there are excellent energy efficient appliances in Europe. I anticipate these appliances will be imported here, for your home renovating.
I am switching several appliances to gas wherever possible. Who can predict the return of the gas refrigerator? Lets look at American home electricity use of close to 11,400 KWh annually, given a low cost of 12 cents a Kilowatt, produces a total cost of $1,324 a year. While in Australia, the average home uses 6,570 KWh at close to 20 cents per KWh, giving an electricity bill of around $1,314 a year. Australian living standards are around a third lower than the USA. I am expecting the average Australian electricity bill to double over the next four years. Everyone will be acutely aware that around ten percent of your Electricity bill is for standby power for plugged in electrical appliances.

“i am expecting the average Australian electricity bill to double over the next four years.”
hmmmm… i sure do hope that we all transition into renewable energy resources, which generates power at relatively no cost. But then again, these hardware are still too expensive to product and would also require maintenance.
Whoo Gotta , check out these turkish efficient appliances
HI jonh, One need not be too worried ,as I suggest there will be heaps of efficient electrical models and lots of ideas, like triple glazing and cheap gas madels for the refidgerator and furnace and dryer.
