choosing an efficient refrigerator
Your Electrician Ultimo states the refrigerator
is the single biggest power consumer in many households. As an
Ultimo Electrician I know a typical refrigerator uses between 600
and 900 kilowatt hours per year, although an efficient one will use
somewhat less (depending on the size).
Your local Electrician Ultimo suggests decideing
on the size, type and features you want. Richard, your Ultimo
Electrician says don't buy something that's too big for your
needs. As an Electrician Ultimo, I have noticed If you're not
keeping a fridge at least two thirds full or a freezer at least
three quarters full, it's probably too big for your
needs.
Richard, your local Electrician ultimo says
consider the following points when you are buying a new
refrigerator or freezer
Make sure you check the energy label before you
buy.Generally, the larger the refrigerator, the greater the energy
consumption. A model that is too large will waste space and energy;
too small could mean extra trips to supermarket and
inconvenience.
As
an Electrician Ultimo, It is usually less costly to run one larger
refrigerator than two smaller ones, but check the energy
consumption on the label when assessing the options.
Two
door refrigerators with a top or bottom freezer are generally more
efficient than side by side models - check the stars and the energy
consumption before you buy.
Automatic ice-makers and through-the-door
dispensers will increase both the energy use (typically 100 to 150
kilowatt hours/year) and the purchase price.
Here is a good tip from your local Electrician
Ultimo, If two different sized refrigerators use the same amount of
energy, the larger model can be considered more efficient because
it keeps more space cold with same amount of electricity.
