Eldernet Gazette Everything you need to know. Everything you want to say.
Today we are looking at how to make sure your fridge & freezers are working energy efficient.
Fridges and freezers are the two appliances that are likely to be the highest consumers of power in your house and even more so in summer. They can make up 15% of your power bill!
Check the seal on your fridge door by running a piece of paper between the seal and door surface. If you can move it with the door shut, it is time to replace the seal because it is letting out cold air.
If you have a second fridge or freezer, think again whether you really need it as it will be costing you a substantial amount of power.
Make sure the temperature is set at 4 degrees for the fridge and -18 degrees for the freezer.
