Refrigerators and Freezers
ENERGY STAR labeled commercial solid door refrigerators and freezers can help you save up to $140 annually per refrigerator and up to $100 per freezer.
Money Saving Operating Tips for Refrigerators and Freezers:
- Position your refrigerator away from a heat source such as an oven, a dishwasher, or direct sunlight from a window.
- To allow air to circulate around the condenser coils, leave a space between the wall or cabinets and the refrigerator or freezer and keep the coils clean.
- Make sure the door seals are airtight.
- Keep your refrigerator between 35°F and 38°F and your freezer at 0°F.
- Minimize the amount of time the refrigerator door is open.
- Recycle older or second refrigerators.
- Keep them full – refrigerators and freezers operate more efficiently when full.
