| Many
people haven't a clue how much energy their refrigerator
or freezer is using every hour of every day of every
year. Here is a little help.
Below you can discover the energy rating of many
refrigerators and freezers produced for the American
consumer market. To search this database, choose
"Refrigerator" or "Freezer" and a brand name from
the pull-down list. Then type in a model number,
and click on the "Search" button below. The list
will give the matching model numbers, its size,
the year of manufacture, and the energy rating.
Of course not all models can be included. The
database generally includes models that are at
least 12 cubic feet but not more than 26 cubic
feet in size. |

How can you tell the model number?
Check the nameplate. The nameplate usually is
inside the food storage compartment or near the
floor on the front frame.
Special thanks to the Wisconsin
Division of Energy and the U.S. Department of
Energy's Weatherization program for making this
database possible. Their generousity will enable
many people to identify cost-effective actions
that will reduce energy use and unnecessary pollution
to the benefit of everyone on the planet.
