Why energy efficiency matters
Apart from environmental concerns, unchecked energy usage drains the finances of most home owners and even businesses by way of bills. When to it comes to households, the refrigerator’s typical energy consumption is roughly 13.7 percent of your total energy bill. This makes it worthwhile to explore avenues to bring down your energy bill, and in the process, lower your carbon footprint. That is why energy efficient and cost effective refrigerators are popular among discerning consumers.
Where does the energy go?
The vast amount of energy consumed by a refrigerator serves to drive heat out of the cabinet. The rest goes towards defrosting, keeping away sweat, and illumination. Refrigerator efficiency is derived from the energy used as per given size and is expressed in terms of volume cooled per unit electric energy per day. Power is measured in kilowatt hours whereas volume is in cubic feet.
