Whats so bad about older fridges, freezers or window air conditioners?
These technologies have changed tremendously over the past 20 years. A typical fridge built in 1986 use 1,500 kwh, costing $180 per year while a new ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator will result in an annual energy cost savings of about $130. At this rate, the savings will pay for the cost of the new refrigerator in 5 to 7 years.
