Calculating Refrigeration and Freezer Energy Usage
Posted by: Allison Friedman // Rate It Green Admin
I just learned about this database and resource for refrigerators and freezers, courtesy of Midwest Energy Performance Analytics, Inc.

Determine the energy use of your refrigerator (or freezer), or even calculate whether it's cost-effective to replace your current refrigerator or freezer. This information can be required for determining eligibility for certain rebates or retrofit/upgrade programs. Energy Star used to provide a search by model number, but that functionality is apparently no longer offered. But you can still perform that search through this link.
This firm has changed their name, but some of the old links are still there - Here's their home page in case they change the rest of their links to match the new name.
