Energy efficiency

The refrigerator freezer has evolved from simple ice boxes to include a variety of features. Nowadays energy efficiency is the main goal. This is because refrigerators require lots of electricity to operate, so choosing an efficient model is crucial to saving money on your energy bills. You can make your fridge more energy efficient by reducing the temperature (e.g. to 4 or 5 degrees warmer or colder) and getting rid of items that are likely to go bad soon.

But you can also do simple things like buying a refrigerator with an A+ rating, which indicates that it has been tested independently and approved to cut down on energy consumption. This will help you save money and make a small fridge freezer difference to the environment.

The energy rating of a fridge will be based on the amount of energy it uses every day, as well its total energy consumption per year.
