Want to save energy? Then look for the ENERGY STAR label.
Refrigerators account for about 20 percent of household electricity use, so choosing an ENERGY STAR-qualified refrigerator means you’ll be using a unit that requires about half as much energy as models manufactured before 1993.
Other energy savings come from replacing old cooling and heating equipment with more efficient, ENERGY STAR-qualified equipment. However, your home’s heating and cooling equipment is part of a larger system. Heating and cooling your home efficiently can include properly maintaining your existing equipment, using a program-made thermostat, finding and sealing air leaks, tightening up ducts, and more.
