Maintain proper settings and maintenance on your fridge and freezer If you do this action, you could earn another 2 points [add to points]
Keep the refrigerator temperature about 36-38 degrees, and the freezer around 0 degrees. This will reduce electricity by not running the chillers as long, but still keeps it cold enough to protect the food. Vacuum the rear-mounted condenser coils regularly, to make sure they perform efficiently, especially if you have pets.

You might have to buy a thermometer in order to measure the actual temperature, since the settings are usually set as numbers, like 1-5. Older models may not be able to reach those temperatures, and may require replacement.
"or just stop taking baths all together. Haha, just kidding!
Short showers are good, "Navy showers" are better.
My roommate uses a timer when taking a shower. It helps to keep his shower under 5 minutes or less. "
