U-Line Achieves Highest Energy-Efficient Rating

As an increasing number of consumers demand “green” products, companies are responding with environmentally friendly solutions. To demonstrate our dedication to the environment, U-Line continues to produce the most efficient models possible. In addition to being ENERGY STAR rated, the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) just awarded U-Line a Tier 3 rating – the highest energy efficiency rating available – for two of its refrigerator models.

Both the Échelon 2175R and Origins 1175R met the stringent criteria set forth by the CEE for this high rating. According to the CEE, a product that attains a Tier 3 rating is 30 percent more efficient than the federal standard.

Both refrigerators outperform the federal standard of 425 KwHr/yr to achieve the high rating. The 2175R runs at 246 KwHr/yr, meaning it costs a homeowner $26* a year to run the unit. The 1175R runs at 259 KwHr/yr, costing a homeowner $28* a year.
