Refrigerator less energy consumption.
Energy star certified refrigerators use less energy and help us reduce our impact on the environment.
To be certified manufacturers must verify the appliance s energy savings test results energy consumption and performance.
Assumptions are based on a combination of historical data adjusted for degradation based on the age of the refrigerator freezers and calculations cited in the energy star specifications.

Energy star certified models use less energy and cost less to run over the long term.
These loads can be avoided by unplugging the appliance or using a power strip and using the switch on the power strip to cut all power to the appliance.
They must meet strict guidelines established by the environmental protection agency epa.
Fridges set 10 degrees lower than needed or freezers set 5 degrees lower than needed can increase energy use by as much as 20 25.
