How about replacing appliances with new ones? Washers can now do both - wash and dry AND it has heat pump. Induction cooktop are way more efficient. Instant hot water taps translates to smaller hot water cylinders. Japanese style fridges spoil less food.

By Japanese style fridge, do you mean a fridge with the freezer on the bottom? How does a Japanese style fridge reduce spoilage?

It's probably a stretch on big picture but some have vacuum compartment for fresh meat and fish and humid compartment for vegetables.
