About the FIS Score

The (FIS) Fridge.com Intelligence Score is a 0–100 rating of how much a location stands to gain from an efficient refrigerator or freezer.

City and state scores add four measured components:

Rate urgency

Up to 40 points from the local residential electricity rate. The more a household pays per kWh, the more an efficient refrigerator saves.

Climate urgency

Up to 30 points from the climate zone. Hot-humid, hot-dry and very-cold areas work a refrigerator hardest.

Rebate bonus

5 points when local utility rebates are available to offset the cost of an efficient model.
