The average refrigerator consumes more energy than any other
household appliance. We spend over $10 billion in the U.S.,
alone, to supply energy to our household refrigerators. The
following tips will save you money and reduce your carbon
(energy) footprint:
1) Clean the filter and coils annually: Most Americans rarely,
if ever, get around to vacuuming out the filter and coils on the
back of the fridge. A dusty coil can increase energy consumption
by 20 percent or more.
2) Keep it full but not stuffed: A fridge and freezer will be
able to retain their coolness better if they're full. If you're
not at full capacity, place a few containers of water in the
'fridge or bags of ice in the freezer.
3) Think about what you want before you open the fridge. Every
time you open the fridge to browse for a snack, you consume
around of 9 to 13 watt/hours, which is enough power to light a
60-watt bulb for 10 minutes.
4) Let hot items cool before placing them in the refrigerator.
5) Defrost the freezer regularly.
6) Check the door gaskets for a tight seal.
7) Cover liquids and foods stored in the refrigerator. Uncovered
foods release moisture and make the compressor work harder.
8) If your fridge is older than 1993, get a new one. You're
spending so much on your electric bill, you'll actually save
money. New models use less energy than a 75-watt light bulb. Be
sure to look for the Energy Star label (www.energystar.gov
and www.aceee.org
for more information).Above tips compliments of
