Saving Energy
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 $300 over the next five years according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program. Ditching (and properly recycling) your outdated, energy-hogging fridge for an ENERGY STAR certified appliance keeps more than 1,000 pounds of carbon pollution out of the environment.
