Refrigerator and Freezer kWh/y Database
Anyone know of a reliable database for finding appliance data? How about scaling these appliances and their energy consumption based on age/condition?
Looking for both. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Paul. Do you know if there is a standard for adjusting the kWh/y consumption of a refrigerator based on it's condition and/or age?

don't think there is any kind of standard, especially given that even the usage of new units can vary quite a bit from rated kwh. Nothing like a metered test!
