Refrigerators are one of the biggest energy users in the home, save energy and money by making sure your refrigerator is working efficiently.
1. Start by vacuuming the cooling coils on the back of the fridge. (Be sure to unplug the refrigerator first.)
2. Check the temperature settings. Recommended temperatures are 35 to 38 degrees Fahrenheit for the fridge, and 0 degrees for the freezer.
3. Check your door seals. Put a piece of paper in the fridge door and see how easy it is to remove. If it slips right out, it is time to replace the seals.
Performing simple maintenance a few times a year will save you a lot of money on your energy bill.
