Great question! 💡 To make older appliances more energy-efficient, you can start by cleaning them regularly (think fridge coils or dryer vents) to help them run smoothly. Also, consider using smart power strips to reduce standby power usage. For major upgrades, insulation or adding a more energy-efficient thermostat can also help! ✨ Small changes = big savings!
