Tuesday Tip – Refrigerator Temp & Energy Use

Tuesday Tip – Use a thermometer to check the temperature of your refrigerator. If the temperature is off by 10 degrees below the following settings, your energy use will increase by 25%.

  • Your refrigerator should be 36-38 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The freezer should be 0-5 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can get a Refrigerator / Freezer thermometer from Amazon.com or your local discount or hardware store.
