Moving the heating coils from the back both reduces the amount of dust that collects on the coils which affects energy efficiency as noted below , and makes them easier to clean. Factors That Effect Energy Use Aside from style, there are a variety of factors that have an impact on the energy use of a refrigerator: Size -- In general, the larger the refrigerator the more energy it consumes. Each additional cubic foot of space above the 14 cubic foot minimum of a "full size" refrigerator adds kWh of electricity consumption per year.
Through-the-door ice dispensers create an area of low insulation in the door that adds to the energy consumption. In most climates this heater can be turned off if a moisture control switch is included during all but the most humid periods of the year. Door Openings -- Actually, door openings have less impact than most people would think.
While less than you might expect, this is still significant. Room Temperature -- Perhaps the greatest impact on energy consumption is room temperature. Options Available in New Refrigerators Aside from style, size and defrost options, refrigerators today have a whole host of convenience options that impact price.
Glass shelves, are easier to clean than standard wire shelves. Gallon door bins allow you to store large containers, such as milk cartons, in the door.

Optional door panels , to match the decor of the kitchen, are available with some models, including the "built in" style. Under the Montreal Protocol, countries have agreed to phase out these chemicals. Under U.
However, while these chemicals are considered less environmentally harmful, HFCF is considered to contribute to both global warming and ozone depletion and will be phased out from to These chemicals are being viewed as interim measures until other, potentially less harmful replacements can be cost-effectively introduced.
Some European manufacturers have introduced more environmentally friendly units. For example, Vestfrost, a Danish company, has introduced a refrigerator that uses RA as the refrigerant. This unit is now available in the U. As a Premium user you get access to background information and details about the release of this statistic.
