  2. Buying a refrigerator? Five things you need to know 1. Buy an Energy Star model. They use 20 percent less energy. 2. Check the yellow EnergyGuide label to compare the model’s energy use with similar models and estimate annual operating costs. 3. Models with top-mounted freezers use 10 to 25 percent less energy than bottom-mount or side-by-side models. 4. Purchase an appropriately sized refrigerator. The most energy-efficient models are typically 16 to 20 cubic feet. 5. Skip the icemaker and dispenser. Automatic icemakers and through-the-door dispensers increase energy use by 14 to 20 percent and raise the purchase price by $75 to $250.

  3. Make the most of your fridge Simple steps can reduce your refrigerator’s energy use. 1. Set it to the appropriate temperature. Keep your refrigerator at 35 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Place your fridge in a cool place, away from heat sources such as ovens, dishwashers, or direct sunlight. 3. Allow air circulation behind the fridge. Leave a few inches between the wall and the refrigerator, and keep the condenser coils clean if you have an older model. Read the user’s manual to learn how to clean coils safely. 4. Check the door seals. An easy test: Place a dollar bill half inside the door and close it. If you can slide the bill out, you should replace the seals. 5. Keep the door closed. Minimize the amount of time the fridge door is open.
