Get a Better Fridge

By Brian Clark Howard

If it's time for a new refrigerator, make sure your new purchase is labeled Energy Star. You'll save on energy bills, and reduce emissions.

Refrigerators account for 15% of the typical homeowner's yearly electric bill. Fortunately, new Energy Star models use 40% less electricity than typical units sold in 2001. That means you could easily save over $50 a year by upgrading to an Energy Star fridge
