"Refrigerators are the only appliances that operate 365 days a year, 24/7, making them the biggest energy zappers in the home.

Research from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers reveals that new refrigerators are over 30 percent more efficient than models sold in 2000 and that the average refrigerator made in 2008 consumed 3 percent less energy than those made in the previous year.
