If you are in the market for a new major appliance, always look for the ENERGY STAR® logo when shopping.

This symbol identifies the most energy efficient appliances in each class. The improvements in appliances over the past decade have been significant. For example, a 2004 model refrigerator uses less than half of the electricity of a unit built 10 years ago.

Also, by using a whole house, in home, real time electricity use monitor you are eligble for an 800kWh formula reduction for "Monitoring and Switching" technology.
