Refrigeration Tips

Once you have selected a new fridge or freezer, here are some additional energy efficiency tips you can follow:

  • Don't overfill the refrigerator - this blocks air circulation.
  • A full freezer will perform better than an empty one.
  • Clean your refrigerator's coils (in the back) and air intake grill (below the doors) every 3 months.
  • Allow hot foods to cool before putting them in the refrigerator.
  • Keep refrigerators and freezers out of direct sunlight, and allow at least 5 cm all around the unit.
