1. Keep the fridge & freezer full. Yes, a fully stocked refrigerator uses less energy than an empty one.2. Wait to store warm or hot food. If you just had a delicious and warm dinner, wait before your food cools off before you throw it in the refrigerator. The hot temperature of the food will cause the fridge to work harder.
3. Use the dishwasher. You save 37% more water. (So says the California Energy Commission ).
