Don't commit this fridge faux pas
The average family open the fridge 22 times a day. Each time, cold air barrels out and warm air takes its place, making the appliance use extra electricity to cool itself back down.If you're a frequent fridge opener and closer, you can save energy by practicing this four-step process:
- Decide what you want
- Open the fridge
- Grab your goods
- Shut the door
No lingering, no browsing, no shopping around. Just get what you want and be done with it. While you're at it, make sure your refrigerator is set to its proper temperature. To increase efficiency, be sure your fridge has tight seals and clean coils.
