Upgrading with rent to buy appliances also comes with the added benefit of a manufactures warranty. There is also an option to purchase an additional warranty. An extended warranty can cover up to 7 years, depending on the appliance.

Close The Fridge Door!

Fridges are another energy-hungry appliance in your home. If you find yourself opening your fridge doors multiple times a day, it means your fridge is constantly working to cool down the interior of the fridge. This will increase your electricity usage.

Therefore, be certain you know exactly what you want before you open the fridge door.

Load It Up!

Ensure you only use your washing machine when you have a full load. Using the cold cycle as often as you can, will also help to reduce your energy costs. It will also save on water usage. As an example, set your wash cycle to a lower water level if you do need to do a smaller load.

Most clothing used every day is not heavily soiled. They can effectively be cleaned using a quick wash cycle. Which in turn will reduce the water and running time of the load cycle.

Please Stand By!
