Introduction: the increase in electricity demand on a global scale implies damage to the Earth's biodiversity.

Empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used.Results: currently, the issue of energy use, especially in relation to household appliances. Refrigerators represent a significant part of electricity consumption in homes. One of the key factors that influence the energy consumption of refrigerators is ambient temperature. Overloading the refrigerator can also significantly affect its energy efficiency. The frequency of opening the door is also an important factor to consider. Preventive maintenance of a refrigerator is recommended to be performed at least once a year. Conclusions: the critical importance of energy efficiency, the importance of education and the promotion of sustainable practices to reduce electricity consumption are highlighted
