Energy Star GE Appliances from Jarvis Appliance

For the kitchen and laundry room, we chose a GE Monogram (link) Energy Star dishwasher, refrigerator, and washing machine from the very helpful folks at Jarvis Appliance in Wellesley, MA. The models we chose use about a third less energy than comparable products and are eligible for local and federal rebates, so we should recover the extra cost within a few years. The refrigerator is particular impressive, because even at 48 inches, it will use less than $100 a year in electricity, according to the Energy Star label. (Refrigerators have traditionally been among the largest consumers of electricity in the home.)
 
For everything but the range top and ovens, we chose cabinet panels so that the appliances would blend into the kitchen and didn’t risk being dinged or scratched, which is the drawback of stainless. All information about each model is available in the house plan, which is available for download.
