See you later, old refrigerator
While your old refrigerator might still be working, if you bought it before 1993, it’s wasting a significant amount of energy, according to the appliance experts at DeWhitt Appliance, Northeast 122nd Avenue and Airport Way.
Today’s new Energy Star-qualified refrigerators use less than half of the electricity it takes to run models purchased before 1993 and use less energy than a 75-watt light bulb left on full time.
Locally owned DeWhitt Appliance, Portland’s appliance experts, has long provided its customers free recycling of replaced appliances and has many Energy Star-rated, name brand refrigerators on hand ready for pickup or delivery.
DeWhitt has offered its green and free program to customers since opening in 1969, said Jerry Hoffmann, sales manager at DeWhitt. “Today’s new appliances are just amazingly practical, and we are pleased to properly recycle all energy-guzzling models,” he said.
Hoffmann noted that the average refrigerator provides about 120 pounds of steel that can be dismantled and reused. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, recycling 16 refrigerators conserves about one ton of steel, 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone.
DeWhitt Appliance serves the Portland-Vancouver market, offering factory direct prices every day. DeWhitt is one of the northwest’s leading members of the $10 million brand source-buying network, assuring shoppers of competitive prices on major name brand appliances. Both the DeWhitt showroom and the DeWhitt Ding & Dent Liquidation Center are open daily.
Portland Muffler moving to Colwood Way
Portland Muffler, in business providing automotive expertise since 1954, is moving.
The business was located on Northeast 122nd Avenue just south of Airport Way. Its new location will be 6435 N.E. Colwood Way in Portland, which is on Northeast Colwood Way off of Columbia Boulevard. The phone number, 503-257-3335, should remain the same, but for certain the Web site, www.portland-muffler.com, will be the same. The Memo will feature a more in-depth report in our Business Memos section in September.
