Tips for saving energy on Refrigerator & Freezer
1 Like other appliances that heat and cool, refrigerators are big energy users. If your refrigerator door does not shut tightly, check the door seal to see if it needs to be cleaned or replaced. A door leak allows cool air to escape, forcing your refrigerator to use more energy to keep food cold.
2 Cleaning the condenser coils found in the back or bottom of the refrigerator will maximize its efficiency.
3 Keep the refrigerator away from appliances that create heat.
4 When purchasing a new refrigerator, consider a high efficiency model. Compare yellow Energy Guide labels and choose the unit that uses the least amount of electricity.
5 A freezer’s efficiency is increased by keeping its compartment full. Be careful not to block the fan that allows cold air to circulate.
6 Check temperature setting. Refrigerator temperature should be 36-38 degrees and freezer temperature should be 0-5 degrees.
