#16: Freeze in some savings.

Ice Cost: Free
Savings: Varies*
  • Defrost your freezer before frost builds beyond ¼ inch.

  • A full freezer performs better than one nearly empty.

  • Freezer temps: Between 0 and 5 degrees. Keeping temperatures lower increases energy use.
  • When replacing a freezer, look for models with the Energy Star® label.
*Individual experiences may vary, check with PGE or your retailer for more info.
