Fridges & Freezers are responsible for approximately 8% of energy usage for a regular household. To become more energy efficient:
-
Replace old, inefficient fridges & freezers with new, efficient units.
-
Make sure you don’t buy larger than you actually need.
-
Keep your fridge clean and defrost regulary.
-
Work out what you want from the fridge before opening the door. Don’t leave the door open for longer than necessary.
-
Locate your fridge in the coolest area of the house. Make sure the back of the fridge is well ventilated.
-
Have only one fridge and one freezer or combo if possible.
