Tips on Keeping Your Refrigerators and Freezers Running Energy Efficient

• Minimize opening and closing your refrigerator and freezer. Every time you open it, cool air will rush out and be replaced with warm air, causing the refrigerator to run more to stay cool.
• Keep it full. Refrigerators and freezers actually operate most efficiently when full, so keep your refrigerator and freezer as full as possible (with bottles of water if nothing else).
• Clean refrigerator door gaskets regularly and vacuum the condenser coils twice a year. Your refrigerator will operate more efficiently and use less energy.
• Your refrigerator should be set close to 37 degrees Fahrenheit and your freezer set to 3 degrees Fahrenheit to conserve energy.
