Whenever a stove or
refrigerator breaks, a homeowner faces the question of whether to repair the appliance or replace it. While at first glance, an individual may lean toward replacement, from an environmental perspective repair may make more sense.
In fact, each year, Americans throw out 9 million refrigerators. In some cases, the landfill owners recycle the parts. In others, the decaying machines release toxic gases into the atmosphere.
In an effort to be environmentally friendly, many consumers seek out energy-efficient units, but even those machines sometimes malfunction. To continue to benefit from their energy savings, consumers should contact a qualified repair technician. These individuals monitor industry developments and understand the nuances of these types of appliances.
Another way to help the environment with appliances involves following the manufacturers’ directions. The guidelines often specify how much to fill a washing machine and when to seek out preventative maintenance. Being a responsible consumer extends the life of appliances and reduces the amount of waste in landfills.
