Advice

The domestication of the fridge freezer has allowed food to last long periods of time. This has allowed people to shop for food less often, saving time that can be used elsewhere.

As a refrigerator operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it remains a major contributor to the CO2, SO2 & NOx emissions entering the atmosphere. This also means that even minor energy-efficiency improvements can have significant reductions of energy, emissions and financial drain.

The Energy Saving Trust has applied the 'energy efficiency logo,' to refrigeration units, which is only given to the best energy performers. They have a database which will help you to find the most efficient type of fridge freezer.

Fridge freezers are also rated with an energy rating from A** to G where A** is the best. The better rating the fridge-freezer has more it generally costs. However with the energy prices increasing well above the rate of inflation the difference between A and C-rated appliances will be paid off in no time at all.

Another consideration is to size the fridge freezer to your needs as this will optimise the energy needed to cool the volume you require. That means those large American fridges are not cool, no matter how good they look or what temperature they are inside.

Once you have found the type you are looking for then you can find the best price on the internet.
