The General Affairs Administration has published its name and model of the cheapest electrical appliance at the initial price and energy cost during its current product life.
In these days of energy conservation, the agency purchased thousands of air conditioners, water heaters, stoves and refrigerators based on the concept of "life cycle costing", mainly for military installations.
It is estimated that the energy consumption of air conditioners is 21% lower than the model purchased in the past few years;
11% water heater;
7% range and 15% refrigerator.
It is estimated that the government has saved $1 million in the service life of these appliances.
