There are many combination units in today’s marketplace geared toward reducing your home energy consumption costs in comparison to stand-alone units. These combination units also save time and space.
Look for items such as TV/DVD theater systems, microwave/range hood units, and scanner/printer/copier machines for the home office. Such multifunction units typically use about 30% less energy than stand-alone units and are generally cheaper than purchasing all the pieces separately.
Remember to look for the Energy Star certification sticker. Home entertainment products, for example, typically use more energy when turned off as opposed to on. Products that meet the Energy Star guidelines, however, use about 50% less energy when in the off position compared to your average conventional piece of equipment.
