â€" old ‘spare‘ refrigerator If you‘re like most Canadian conâ€" sumers, you‘re probably looking for ways to save on household expenses while doing your part to be environâ€" mentally responsible. You can do both by replacing a big household energy glutton â€" the old "spare" refrigerator in the basement or summer cottage. When a new refrigerator is purâ€" chased for the home, the old appliance is often used for extra food storage, a basement apartment or the family cotâ€" tage. It seems like a smart idea, until you find out older refrigerators are "energy gluttons," consuming as much as two and a half times the electricity of new appliances. That can translate into a whopping $100â€"$125 a year in extra hydro costs! "New refrigerators use almost 65% less electricity than comparable older models," says Michel Trudel, Viceâ€" President, Marketing for Inglis Limited, Canada‘s largest supplier of major appliances. "That gives you an idea of the advances we‘ve made in energy efficiency over the last few years." He compares the energy savings between a new Inglis 20â€"cubic foot Energysmart refrigerator and a 1972 model. The older model uses, on averâ€" age, 1,986 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year, compared with 714 kWh per year for a 193 model. The increased efficiency produces big household energy savings. In Ontario, where electricity costs an average of nine cents per kilowatt hour, you would pay $179 each year to operate a 1972 Inglis refrigerator (1,986 kWh x $.09/kWh). With a 1993 Inglis model, you would spend about $65 a year on electricity. In 10 years, the older refrigerator would use $1,790 worth of hydro versus $650 for the newer model. That‘s a $1,100 differâ€" ence. If you have an older refrigerator, compare how much it‘s costing you to operate with the cost of running a newer, more energyâ€"efficient model. Just multiply the total number of kiloâ€" watt hours (kWh) used by each refrigâ€" erator in a year by the hourly hydro cost. The EnerGuide label on new appliances indicates the kWh rating of modern refrigerators, but you may have to approximate the energy conâ€" sumption of your old unit. Considering a typical new refrigeraâ€" tor costs approximately $900 to $1,000 and lasts from 15 to 20 years, it may make good financial and environmenâ€" tal sense to look at replacing your older unit. If you decide to purchase a new refrigerator, make sure you shop around and compare EnerGuide ratâ€" ings. You‘ll find appliance manufacturâ€" ers offer a wide selection of energy efficient models with upgraded designs and convenient features. Choose the appliance that has the features you want along with the lowâ€" est energy consumption rate. You‘ll save money and take an important step to reduce your household energy conâ€" sumption. 418â€"2 North Service Rd. E. "a 842â€"7000 GREAT STARTER Lovely 3â€"badrm. room with walkout. Won‘t last.
