When you’re ready to renovate your kitchen, replacing the kitchen appliances can be one of the more expensive options but the impact is huge. Thankfully, there are a few ways you can save money on purchasing new kitchen appliances that make this option more palatable. Don’t finish your remodel leaving the old appliances in place. After all, kitchen remodels add up to 30% of their value back into the home’s overall value making it one of the more popular remodeling jobs.
Purchase Together
Purchasing your kitchen appliances separately can cost more than buying them together. Find the best kitchen appliance package deals by searching locally as well as online. Many of the packages include a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and stove. Vent hoods, separate ovens and smaller appliances can also be included in an appliance package.
Favorite Brands
A quality website or store has your favorite brands and appliance pieces together for side-by-side comparison. Before you start your search, look at the available brands. Most brands have a range of lines for the economic individual to a luxurious suite of appliances. Knowing what your budget for appliances is ahead of time can help you make a choice on the best brands to go with.
Increased Efficiency
New appliances don’t just look good. They run more efficiently, using less energy and saving you money on your utility bills. Not only do you save money by purchasing an appliance package, but your average energy bills should go down. The cost-savings help recoup the costs of purchasing shiny new appliances in the first place. Most brands have a range of colors including stainless steel, black, white and black stainless.
Smart Technology
Not all appliances have the latest in smart technology such as built-in tv screens. Assessing your individual needs can help you determine whether these more expensive appliances are important to include in your kitchen. A quietly running dishwasher may be more important to you than LED screens on the fridge. Determine what features you need and want, then find a brand that meets those needs. Shopping online can help you see those features next to each other and compare both prices and brands.
Sacrificing new appliances during your kitchen remodel can save you money, but it also sacrifices on look and functionality. One of the main reasons people remodel their kitchens is to improve the functionality of the space. Worn out appliances detract from the appearance of your new cabinets, counters and flooring. Up your appliance game while still saving money on your new investment.
