Fridge Energy Saving Tips

  • Keep to a minimum the number of times and length you keep the door open, this not only saves electricity but reduces wear
  • Keep fridges away from heat sources and direct sunlight if possible
  • Keeping your fridge full will reduce the energy required to keep the fridge cool
  • Defrost frozen food in the fridge, this will reduce the energy the fridge requires to keep at a constant temperature and is safer than defrosting at room temperature
  • Keep the condenser coils clean and dust-free, allow space for air to circulate, and do not block vents
  • Defrost fridges regularly as this ensures that they are working more efficiently
  • If your fridge is older than 10 years, a new model could half your refrigeration costs, view our top rated appliances
  • Ensure the doors seals are tight and working by closing the door on a piece of paper, if it can easily be removed, consider replacing the seals
  • Consider installing an eCube, which reduces the number of cooling cycles required as it measures food temperatures not air temperature
