Refrigerators are one of the most energy-intensive appliances in your home, so it's important to make sure that you're using them as efficiently as possible. Here are 10 tips to help you save energy with your refrigerator:
Choose an energy-efficient refrigerator. When you're shopping for a new refrigerator, look for one with the Energy Star label. Energy Star-certified refrigerators use up to 20% less energy than standard models.
Keep your refrigerator clean. A dirty refrigerator will work harder to maintain a cold temperature, which will waste energy. Wipe down the inside and outside of your refrigerator regularly, and defrost it as needed.
Avoid overpacking your refrigerator. When your refrigerator is packed too tightly, the air can't circulate properly, which can make the compressor work harder and waste energy.
Don't open the refrigerator door too often. Every time you open the refrigerator door, warm air from the outside rushes in, which forces the compressor to work harder to cool the air back down.
Place your refrigerator in a cool, well-ventilated area. If your refrigerator is located in a hot, humid area, it will have to work harder to maintain a cold temperature, which will waste energy.
Adjust the temperature setting on your refrigerator. The ideal temperature setting for a refrigerator is between 37 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If you set the temperature too low, you're wasting energy.
Use the freezer to store leftovers. Leftovers can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. This will save you energy in the long run, as you won't have to cook as often.
Defrost frozen foods before cooking them. Defrosting frozen foods before cooking them will save you energy, as your oven won't have to work as hard to cook them.
Unplug your refrigerator when you're not using it. If you're going on vacation or away for a few days, unplug your refrigerator. This will prevent it from using any energy.
Have your refrigerator serviced regularly. A well-maintained refrigerator will be more energy efficient. Have your refrigerator checked by a qualified technician every year or two.
By following these tips, you can save energy and money on your energy bills. And you'll be doing your part to help the environment.
