KITCHEN APPLIANCES - Ten Energy Saving Steps to Refrigerator Savings:First try to buy the most efficient design made - A basic average comparison in electric cost is done below as an example:
If a Top Freezer model costs $67.00 to $106.00 a year in electric,
A Side by Side model would costs $81.00 to $120.00 a year in electric,
And a Bottom Freezer model would costs $85.00 to $124.00 a year in electric.PLEASE NOTE: The above example does not reflect all newer models made, such as the Yellow Taged models shown on the previous page nor are all the variables, such as extras, defined in relationship to cost.
Next, remember that refrigerators and freezers are always being used.
Your refrigerator - freezer can easily be 20 percent or more, of your total electric bill.
This is why we stated on the very first page of this refrigerator section that if you have an old model, especially from the 1970s or 1980s, buying a new refrigerator can save up to 79% off the Refrigerator's electric cost.
For Example: The MOST efficient 20 cubic foot model made today will use less than 480 kilowatt hours per year.
A model from the 1970s or 1980s can be using up to 2,000 kilowatt hours per year!Here are the TEN Energy Saving Steps to Remember:
1.) STAY COOL: Never place your refrigerator and freezer next to your oven, stove, dishwashers, a window allowing direct sunlight to shine on it, heating system vents, baseboards or radiators.
2.) OPEN SAYS ME: Open your refrigerator and freezer only when necessary and if you have French doors on the refrigerator, try to open only the side your item is on.
