Energy Star qualified refrigerators use 20% less energy. Did you know that if you replace a fridge from the 80's you can save $100/year and $200/year if you replace a fridge from the 70's. Get rid of that outside fridge, bring your drinks inside and save money on your electric bill. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
