The Green Benefits of Sub-Zero and Wolf Kitchen Appliances
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the food they eat and where it comes from; whether that be locally grown, organic produce versus imported or genetically modified produce. Many are also making more of an effort to improve the energy conservation within their kitchens, opting for only eco-friendly appliances from brands with a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Premium refrigeration and cooking appliances from Sub-Zero & Wolf are popular with professional chefs and home cooks alike, and performance and style aside, there's a lot more to these products than initially meets the eye. Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances are some of the most eco-friendly appliances on the market, making them an ideal addition to any green' kitchen.
Energy efficiency
Going green', as they say, is becoming less of a trend and more of a necessity. The size of our carbon footprint is more important than ever and is increasingly affecting our decisions when buying new appliances for the home. Research suggests that if everyone in the UK upgraded their cold appliances to energy saving recommended products, it would save over 700 million worth of electricity every year!
Sub-Zero refrigerators are Energy A Rated and contain Dual Refrigeration and Air Purification systems (technology developed by NASA), which prevents fluctuations in temperature, significantly reducing power usage and importantly, increasing the life of your fresh and frozen food.
Wolf cookers have a precise heat control system that conserves energy and reduces cooking times. The Wolf Dual Fuel range only expends energy when in use and the oven doors are tightly sealed to retain maximum heat and energy. The triple glazed oven door allows you to monitor the progress of your cooking without having to open the door, allowing no precious heat to escape.The precision controlled, dual stacked gas burners use a single spark ignition, which ensures that energy is not wasted on unused burners. Plus, the auto re-ignite feauture ensures that no cooking time is wasted if a gust of wind from an open window extinguishes the flame, by automatically and safely re-lilghting the burner in use.
Everything is designed with the environment in mind; even the largest Sub-Zero appliances use less electricity than a 100 watt light bulb!
Food preservation
Food wastage is becoming a big problem in many first world countries, with landfill sites struggling to cope with the volume of unwanted produce being thrown out every day. In fact, every year 8.3 million tonnes of food is thrown away by UK households alone.
Sub-Zero's Dual Refrigeration system, as well as eliminating odours, viruses, bacteria and gases, keeps perishable foods fresher for longer, significantly reducing food wastage and unnecessary trips to the shops.
Built to last
Sub-Zero & Wolf's appliances are built to last, not be land-filled; many owners are still using the same Sub-Zero refrigerator that they were 20 years ago. The appliances are not only an investment for the kitchen, but an investment for life. In fact, they all come with one of the strongest warranties in the appliance industry and a 24/7 customer care centre.
