If you're ready to take part in the program, here are a few Energy Star fridges for you to consider
LG's new 4-Door Refrigerator (set to be released this month) has two refrigerator doors at eye level and two bottom freezer drawers, the top for everyday items and the second for longer-term storage. The unit also has a nearly 1-foot-high ice and water dispenser. It retails for between $3,199 and $3,499.
Available in stainless steel, black, and white, this side-by-side refrigerator from Electrolux features Wave-Touch Electronic Controls, which light up at a slight touch and fade away after a choice is made for an uncluttered display. Other highlights include a 9-inch-tall water and ice dispenser and an alarm system that activates if there is a power failure, the door is left ajar, or the internal temperature rises above 56 degrees for 20 minutes. It retails for between $2,199 and $2,999.
French door bottom freezer refrigerators are gaining in popularity, and this is the first model GE is offering for the mass market. With a 26-cubic-foot interior, it isn't lacking in storage space, and a dual-evaporator system controls air separately in the fresh-food and freezer compartments. Without an ice and water dispenser, it retails for between $1,599 and $1,799.
