Refrigerator Efficiency Headquarters

Everyone needs to know a few things about efficiently refrigerating their food. Today the Energy Star label is shown on all appliances more than 10% efficient than the Federal Standard, but the label can be misleading. People need to know what types of refrigerators are efficient in the grand scheme of things. Some refrigerator's have efficiencies of over 50% the Federal Standard!

Also, buying a new fridge isn't necessarily the only thing one can do; actually, one need not spend a dime to decrease energy used in refrigeration. Government tests show that if you spend just 5 minutes cleaning your condenser coils every 6 to 12 months, the refrigerator efficiency will improve by up to 30%!

There are also alternative methods of refrigeration that people should consider, such as root cellars, zeer pots, refurbished refrigerators, and more.
