Refrigator Buying Tips

Before buying a refrigator consider this things:

1. Choose top-mounted freezer configuration over side-side: Side-side freezers use 30 percent more energy than top mounted freezers. Even with the Energy-Star sticker, it still uses more energy.


2. Size matters: Refrigators that are under 25 cubic feet use less energy than refrigators over 25 cubic feet.


3. Recycle your old fridge: Give your old refrigator to the city becuase they might give you money.


4. Avoid multiple refrigators: If you don't have enough space in your refrigator, buy one big one rather than two smaller ones.
