Any updates on an energy analysis? I've been considering this for a while.

The kitchen may be the best room in the house to some, but it can also be the most wasteful. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, lighting, refrigeration and cooking are responsible for 41.5% of a home’s energy consumption. Yet, appliance companies are improving the efficiency of new models. A good place to start is to look for Energy Star labels.

I can't imagine the kitchen uses 41% if you include space and water heating. My electric bill drops in half from winter to summer simply because you drop home heating. I believe my hotwater heater accounts for at least 30% of the remainder.

Yes. In most homes or I will say in every kitchen is an area that contributes the maximum energy to energy bills so we should be careful to lessen such energy consumed.
