Using a bowl of water is a simple but efficient approach to reduce your refrigerator’s electricity use. Here are a few suggestions on how you might make use of this idea:
1. Increase Humidity in the Refrigerator
How it Works: The bowl of water contributes to a slightly greater humidity level within the refrigerator. When the air is more humid, fruits and vegetables are less likely to dry out, reducing the need to replace food that wilts or shrivels too rapidly.
Savings: By throwing away less spoiled food, you can reduce food waste and, as a result, cut your shopping bill. It can also help keep your fridge running more efficiently by requiring less electricity to maintain the appropriate temperature and moisture level for your food.
2. Prevent Overworking Your Fridge’s Compressor
How It Works: Adding a bowl of water makes the refrigerator’s compressor function more effectively. A regular internal humidity level keeps the fridge from having to work too hard to keep the internal climate stable. Without enough moisture, fridges may have to cycle more frequently, using more electricity.
