Every degree is a difference maker.By setting their refrigerator’s temperature between 35 degrees and 38 degrees F and periodically cleaning its condenser coils, the Millers can save $19.94 over a year’s time.

This is a great no-cost way for the Millers to dial up their efficiency. They can also take care not to pack their freezer so tight with food that it blocks the vents. If they wanted to take it a step further, they could purchase a new ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerator. Replacing a refrigerator bought in 1993 or earlier with a new ENERGY STAR model would save enough energy to light the average household for nearly four months.
