Energy Efficiency and Environmental Benefits
Most old refrigerators consume copious amounts of energy and drive up your electricity bill. Replacing your fridge with a high-efficiency model may seem like an expensive endeavor, but you’ll actually save money in the long run. ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators consume about nine percent less energy than the federal standard, which equates to a savings of more than $270 over the next five years according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program. Ditching your outdated, energy-hogging fridge for an ENERGY STAR certified appliance also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps protect the planet.
Flip Your Fridge Campaign
The 2017 ENERGY STAR Flip Your Fridge campaign calls upon homeowners to replace their inefficient fridges with new energy-saving models and recycle the old ones. Leading appliance brands, national retailers, and participating utilities are participating in Flip Your Fridge and offering a range of rebates, and other incentives.
