Replacing your old appliances with newer, more energy-efficient products is a quick way to see immediate savings on your monthly statement.

When an old refrigerator is moved to a garage or basement, it takes twice as much energy to keep your food cold and can cost more than $100 a year to operate. To encourage recycling of old refrigerators, United Power members qualify for a refrigerator/freezer recycling credit to properly dispose of their old refrigerator or freezer.

What is Energy Star®?

Look for this logo on your new appliance purchases. The Energy Star® logo is on all qualified products that meet specific standards for energy efficiency. Qualified products exceed federal minimum standards for efficiency and quality – sometimes significantly. Look for the label on appliances, electronics, water heaters, windows and other products that consume energy in your home. 

EnergyGuide Label

To help you figure out whether an appliance is energy efficient, the federal government requires most appliances to display the bright yellow and black EnergyGuide label. Although these labels will now show you which appliance is the most efficient on the market, they will show you the annual energy consumption and operating cost for each appliance so you can compare them yourself.

Flip Your Fridge

Older refrigerators are costly to operate and leave a large carbon footprint on the environment. In fact, refrigerator models 15 years or older use twice as much energy as new Energy Star® models. Why not recycle that old energy wasting fridge, and replace it with a new Energy Star® certified model? You'll save money and help the environment. Find the exact savings with the Energy Star® Savings Calculator.
