Technological Advances

ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators offer high performance features such as:

  • High-efficiency compressors - ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators have high-efficiency compressors that create less heat when they are running, use less energy and are often quieter than standard compressors.
  • Improved insulation - Improved insulation located in doors and exterior walls helps food stay cold and muffles noise.
  • Temperature and defrost mechanisms - More precise temperature and defrost mechanisms help the refrigerator operate more efficiently, while ensuring food is kept at the optimum temperature.

You can find the ENERGY STAR label on the most advanced refrigerators in a variety of designs, including French door, four- door, side-by-side, bottom-mount freezer, and top-mount freezer. Many ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators use innovative drawer designs and improved temperature controls to keep your food fresher, longer.
