Nessa emptied her refrigerator, removed the shelves, placed it in the bathtub, and cleaned it thoroughly. He also checked the temperature of his refrigerator and cleaned the interior. While the refrigerator was bright and empty, he pulled it out to clear dust from the bottom and compressor area.

It is then put back into place, leaving enough space on the sides to allow air circulation. Then the shelves with all the food are brought in.

Nessa said that just improving air circulation around the refrigerator can save up to 15% of the refrigerator's energy consumption. This is because a refrigerator works by transferring heat from the refrigerator to the surroundings. The less air there is to circulate around the refrigerator, the more difficult this transfer is and the harder the compressor has to work to keep the refrigerator cool.

Since the refrigerator is one of the appliances that consume the most energy in the home , reducing its consumption could mean significant savings. The Department of Energy also recommends cleaning a refrigerator's coils regularly to optimize performance.

Saving energy consumption is a good way to reduce monthly electricity bills. It also reduces pollution caused by home energy consumption. Since houses are a major source of pollution , all energy saving tips and tricks will benefit the environment.
