Energy efficiency
Fridge freezers have evolved from simple ice containers to include a variety of features. These days, the main attention is usually on energy efficiency. This is because refrigerators use lots of electricity so selecting an energy-efficient model is essential to reducing your energy bills. You can make your fridge more energy efficient by reducing its temperature (e.g. to 4 or 5 degrees cooler) and getting rid of items that are likely to expire soon.
You can also make small changes, such as buying a refrigerator with an A+ rating. This signifies that the refrigerator has been tested independently to cut down on energy use. This will save you money and make a little impact on the environment.
The energy rating of a fridge considers the amount of energy used by the appliance throughout the day however, it also considers the total energy consumption per year. This is because if you use the fridge for a prolonged time, then it will use more energy than it does in a short period of time. It is important to check the energy label before buying a new appliance.
