Refrigerator
- Unplug and properly dispose your extra refrigerator if it's used mainly for occasional cold drinks or ice cubes. You could reduce your annual energy bill by as much as $160 by doing so.
- Open refrigerator/freezer doors only when necessary.
- Keep refrigerator coils (on the back or the bottom of the appliance) clean.
- Make sure the seals on your refrigerator, freezer and oven doors fit tightly. Easily perform this test by leaving a lit flashlight inside a closed appliance and if you see light around the gasket, replace the gasket.
