Your Home's Energy Hog

Is Your Fridge Eating Energy Dollars?

Is your fridge eating energy dollars?  If your current refrigerator was made before 1993, it uses twice as much energy as a new ENERGY STAR qualified model.  Maybe your kitchen fridge is new – but you might have an older refrigerator in your garage or basement for those extra cases of soda you got on sale. These older units can cost $90 OR MORE a year to operate. Replacing an older model with a new ENERGY STAR qualified one can save you a bundle.  To learn about OTHER places in your home you can save energy and money – check out ENERGY STAR’S new video podcast, available at www.energystar.gov.
