Save Money with ENERGY STAR® qualified refrigerators.

There are a number of ways in which ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators operate more efficiently:
  • More efficient compressors
  • Better insulation
  • Use at least 15% less energy than required by current federal standards, and 40% less energy than the conventional models sold in 2001.
They also provide the same features and benefits as non-qualifying models, like icemakers, side-by-side design and through-the-door water and ice dispensers, while using less energy.

Did you know?
New ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use less energy than a 75-watt light bulb running continuously.
