Do you really need that old fridge? When many of us get that kitchen makeover, we take a working refrigerator out and decide what a great place for the leftovers, beer, holiday food and anything else we've ever wanted to keep cold. We just move it to the garage or wherever and plug it in. Why not, it's free! Unfortunately, it's not free. Refrigerators are one of the biggest energy users in our homes, especially older models. If you really need a second refrigerator, consider a new, smaller model with an Energy Star rating. Or better yet, stay with one refrigerator and save even more energy, money and CO2.
