Refrigerators
Refrigerators use the most energy of any home appliance Here are some tips for efficient refrigerator use:
· Place refrigerators out of direct sunlight and away from the stove and other heat-producing appliances.
· Decide what features you really need and use. Through-the-door features like cold water or automatic ice dispensers can increase electricity usage by as much as 20 per cent compared to similar models without these extras.
· Buy an Energy Star approved refrigerator. A 2002 Energy Star refrigerator uses less than half the electricity of a standard 10-year-old model!
· If you buy a new refrigerator, unplug your old one. There is no energy efficiency in continuing to use your energy guzzler.
· Find cold storage spaces tostore fresh foods safely without using any electricity.
