What is the Carbon Footprint of Your Fridge? (And How to Reduce It)

Carbon footprint fridge, Energy-efficient appliances, Green home tips

Your fridge runs 24/7—but have you ever considered its environmental impact? Refrigerators account for about 7% of household energy use, and in older models, leaky refrigerants can seriously raise your carbon footprint.

To green your cooling habits:

  • Choose A+++ rated or ENERGY STAR appliances

  • Keep your fridge well-stocked to retain cold

  • Defrost regularly and maintain proper seals

  • Switch to models using natural refrigerants like R600a

Small behavioral shifts + efficient appliances = big savings (for your bills and the planet).

💡 Bonus: Smart fridges with consumption monitoring are becoming popular—and eco-friendly.
