ECON, Whirlpool join Energy Star campaign

As gold sponsors of the 2008 Nevada Energy Star campaign, ECON Appliance and Whirlpool Corp. have joined forces to promote energy-efficient appliances as a way to go green and save resources, according to Jim Vincent of ECON Appliance, a local distributor of household appliances.

"Appliances are part of our everyday life," Vincent said. "They are the modern-day conveniences on which we all depend. Yet, older appliances use considerably more energy and water. In fact, appliances, including heating and air-conditioning systems, account for 90 percent of energy used in the home. That's why it's smart for consumers to replace older appliances with newer, more energy-efficient appliances that are not only more dependable, but use fewer environmental resources."

According to Ryan Seger, contract account manager for Whirlpool Corp., one of the world's leading manufacturers of major household appliances, the company believes it has a global responsibility to educate consumers about appliances and energy use. "Appliances, such as washers and dryers, have very long life spans," Seger said.

Whirlpool has received more than nine Energy Star awards from the Environmental Protection Agency, including the Energy Star Partner of the Year Award for Sustained Excellence in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
