As we learn more about how best to preserve our planet and our environment, we are able to take steps toward the use of more eco friendly appliances.  The Cash for Clunkers Refrigerator Program offers a rebate incentive to replace your old refrigerator with one of the new energy efficient refrigerators available on the market today.  These refrigerators come in a number of different models and designs, and prices vary widely according to the style and features you choose.  In addition to the money you will save using the rebate offer, you will also save money month after month on your energy bill by using one of these energy efficient refrigerators.

If it is a dorm or an apartment you are equipping, or a game room, the Sanyo Counter High All Refrigerator at amazon.com.  The platinum door makes it a stylish addition to your home or office, and adjustable shelves and gallon wide door shelves make this small model very efficient in energy use and in food and beverage storage.  This refrigerator is compliant with the energy star requirements, and has been shown to use 20% less energy than comparable refrigerators. 

Some of the best rated energy efficient refrigerators are the bottom  mount models.  Cold air naturally falls; therefore, it requires less energy to push colder air to a bottom freezer than it does to force it to the top of a unit.  This is only one reason why a bottom freezer is desirable.  With this design, the most used foods you generally keep on the top shelf of your refrigerator are at eye level, which is obviously more convenient for you, the consumer.  At homedepot.com, you will find the GE Bottom Mount Freezer Refrigerator.  It offers 20.3 cubic feet of storage capacity, made more efficient with two split and one full shelf.  This model is sold with a sleek black finish.  In addition to Home Depot, a number of other retailers also sell GE products, including this specific unit.

Another GE product, the GE Profile Energy Star Counter Depth Side By Side Refrigerator, features vertical freezer and refrigerator.  The result is two narrow doors, as you would find with a model with French doors.  Because it stands flush with the counter and the doors are narrow, this is an ideal refrigerator for a smaller kitchen or one with a narrow traffic way.  This particular model, sold at appliancesbuyphone.com, is equipped with an exterior water and ice dispenser and a built in wine rack.

Any of these designs, and many more, are available now with the energy star rating, meaning that they will ensure up to a 20% savings over a comparable model of refrigerator.  This means that you will decrease your carbon footprint and benefit the environment, while saving money on your own energy bills for years to come.  Additionally, you do not have to sacrifice style or features.  Every model and amenity you may desire is available in an energy star refrigerator.  A quick internet search will reveal the number of options and retailers available.
