Refrigeration Tips

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

Set the temperature for only as cold as you need; check manufacturer’s recommendations.
Don’t overfill the refrigerator – this blocks air circulation. However, 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.
