Re: BECOME UTILITARIAN
New energy efficient refrigerators have a freezer compartment from which cold air is blown into the refrigerator part. If you pack the freezer compartment like you could load up the old freezers, or have too much food stuffed into the main part, the air can not circulate and the whole thing will freeze up. If your refrigerator runs continuously it probably means it's overloaded, - or you need to remove the back cover and clean out all the dust and cat hair.

Become Utilitarian
Chose Energy Star Appliances
When it's time to replace an appliance, choose a model that has the Energy Star approval rating. Check the energy usage for the most efficient! One of the biggest energy hogs is the refrigerator; an energy-efficient model could shave $55 a year off your utility bill, which means you'd recoup the extra purchase price of a mid-range fridge in just two or three years. And check with your electric company to see if it's one of the many that will offset some of the extra cost (usually about 15 percent) of an energy-efficient model; to find other types of energy-saving incentives, go to dsireusa.org. Also, certain green-home projects completed by the end of this year may be eligible for a federal tax credits so be sure to save your receipts!
