If you are upgrading to a new house, then you have already discovered that there are a multitude of appliances that you can choose for your house. Not only are there more choices than in the past, but there are also, more brands, features, and sizes from which you can choose from. If you have been overwhelmed by the appliances choices available, then save yourself some time by keeping the following points and features in mind.

·    Size and features of the appliances.
How big is the appliance? Be sure you have accurately measured the space that your appliance will be going into. After all, what good is having an appliance that has all the features you want but it won’t fit?
Select the appliance with features you will actually use, after all, you will pay more for all the extras. Many people purchase an appliance because it has all the bells and whistles, but then never learn how to use perks.


·    Energy Consumption.
Is the appliance energy efficient? Don’t waste your money on an appliance that will cost you extra on your energy bill. Today, many appliances have tags on them indicating how energy efficient they are. Do your research before so that you may know what models will be best for your needs.


·    The price of the appliance.
How much do you want to spend? Determining your price range before going to the store will keep you from spending too much. For example, a basic appliance price starts from $325, but one with all the extras may cost over $8,000. Know what you want to spend before you get to the store. The cost is affected by not just the features but also by the color and the size of the unit as well.


·   Appliance Noise Factor.
How much noise does it make? In times past, appliances such as dishwashers were extremely loud. Today, they are much quieter. If you are unsure how loud an appliance may be, look for the decibel rating and compare products.
Since many homeowners do the majority of their entertaining in the house, you want your house appliances to look good. Think about the color scheme in your house and focus on appliances that will complement the existing look. And, even if this is not all that important to you, there may come a time when you want to sell your home, and the appliances can make a difference to potential buyers.


·    Appliance warranty period.

What type of warranty is available? Make sure the appliance you select has a warranty that covers the entire product, not just specific parts. Also, many appliances will have warranties/coverage regarding labor as well. If not, you may want to opt for an extended warranty. Before making a decision, be sure that you understand exactly what is covered by the warranty.
