Do you use energy-efficient appliances at home?

I live in a rented apartment, so what appliances are used are up to management, and they don’t buy those. Management is too cheap to spend the amount of money those appliances require.

I have an LED bulb above the bed. I use it to read when it's dark

Energy efficient devices are very important to reduce the electricity bills.With the invention of Light emitting diodes whole concept of lighting system has changed .Now led bulbs are cheaper and any one afford it.

Star rating is everywhere. Though I do not pay much attention to them. Yes they last longer but other factors or features are also important.

I know they recently had to adjust the star ratings because even the cheaper new appliances were hitting the best standards and the better built ones are much more energy efficient than was required under the old system. We use energy efficient things. I also use an instant pot and a slow cooker instead of the oven a lot of the time as they use less energy. My washing machine was one of the highest rated when it was bought twelve years ago but I imagine that might be different now. I won't change it yet, I don't tend to buy a new thing until the old one is beyond repair and then I like to research what is the best for energy efficiency and reliability.

I've used the bulbs for years, as soon as they were available. They make a huge difference. I moved to my home here over 10 years ago. I put in all new LED bulbs. I didn't change one out for almost 7 years, they last a very long time. I do have a smart thermostat as well.
