ENERGY STAR^® Qualified Refrigerators

Current Rebate: $75 - $100 Mail-in Rebate

Did you know in most households the refrigerator is the single highest energy consuming kitchen appliance. New ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerators are at least 20% more efficient than a new conventional model and 40% more efficient than models sold in 2001. If you replace a refrigerator bought in 1990 with a new ENERGY STAR qualified model you can save enough energy to light the average household for nearly 4 months.

Advantages of ENERGY STAR Refrigerators

• Have high efficiency compressors
• Are made with improved insulation
• Have more precise temperature and defrost mechanisms.
• Are available in top, bottom, and side by side freezer styles

Quick Tip
If possible, place your refrigerator away from appliances that generate heat, such as ovens and dishwashers. Otherwise the refrigerator will have to work much harder to cool and its efficiency will decrease. Read more tips
