A well-functioning 200l fridge typically uses 25-30kw of electricity monthly. Unusual operation, like a faulty door seal, can increase electricity bills.
Check the fridge door seal by inserting a bill as thick as cotton money, closing the door, and pulling the bill. Easy removal suggests a seal problem; resistance indicates a good seal. A poor seal can lead to higher energy use.
Store food in sealed containers or plastic wrap to improve freshness and reduce fridge energy use.
Limit how often you open the fridge to keep cold air in and save on energy.
Wrap bottles in a damp cloth to cool them quickly without extra energy use.
Wait for food to cool before putting it in the fridge to avoid using more energy to cool it down.
Place the fridge away from heat sources to prevent it from working harder and using more energy.
Keep the fridge at 5°C and the freezer at -18°C to save on energy; every degree lower uses 6% more energy.
Defrost food in the cooling compartment to ensure safe thawing and reduce the fridge's energy consumption.
