Energy Star is a standard rating for refrigerators and many companies have
this rating on several models. Certainly one should buy an Energy Star rated
fridge. We are also Energy Star rated.

I understood the original poster to be asking about the super efficient
fridges that are not sold by regular appliance stores. I had investigated
those only to find that the thousands one pays is not worth the cost AND
that the claims for them were exaggerated when compared to the Energy Star
ratings.

Thanks for clarifying that,

Sharon
