Why should new homeowners choose energy-efficient appliances?

When you're shopping for appliances, look for energy-efficient ones. They might cost a little more upfront, but they may pay you back over time through lower utility bills.

Energy-efficient appliances use less electricity and water, which means smaller monthly bills and a smaller environmental footprint. For a new homeowner trying to manage a budget, those savings make a real difference month after month.

A couple of ways to save:

1. Start your shopping at the AAA Dollars Online Mall to earn cash back on your purchase. Search for the retailer you want, click through to the offer, and then search by model.
2. Shop directly. AAA Members can get discounts on Samsung kitchen and laundry appliances at AAA.com/Samsung.

How can I lower my utility costs with the AAA Dollars Online Mall?

Saving money doesn't stop at appliances. The AAA Dollars Online Mall also connects you with retailers that may help you cut your utility costs.

Two easy wins for new homeowners:

• Window blinds: Quality blinds help regulate your home's temperature, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. That eases the load on your HVAC system and lowers your energy bills. Shop retailers like Affordable Blinds through the mall.

• Energy-efficient light bulbs: Switching to LED or CFL light bulbs is a simple way to reduce energy consumption and lower utility costs. These bulbs use significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent options and last much longer.

• Air filters: Clean air filters keep your heating and cooling system running efficiently, which saves energy and extends the life of your equipment. Stock up at online retailers like Air Filters Delivered and FiltersFast.com.
