Energy Efficient Fridges and Freezers  
  
Fridges and freezers are a essential element of our homes, and they use plenty of energy. A model that is energy efficient can help you save money while also protecting the environment.  
  
There are a variety of fridge styles available that include models with a bottom freezer which allow you to get access to your frozen foods without hunching over. There are fridges with adjustable storage options and reversible doors.  
  
Stores  
  
Fridges can offer a range of storage options that can aid you in keeping your items organized and find what you're searching for. Refrigerators with adjustable shelves, for example can expand their storage capacity and make it easy to view items on all levels. Some models have sliding drawers that allow you to access tall items like liter bottles. This is a great feature when the space in your home is limited. You should also look for models that have shelves that are spill-proof to avoid messes and drips.  
  
Look at models with separate freezers if you are in search of a bigger refrigerator. They are intended to be used to store food for a long time, so it is important to choose the right model for your needs. They also consume less energy than traditional fridges that have freezer compartments, since they don't need to work as hard in order to cool the space.  
  
Another option is to go for a fridge with an enormous capacity. The LG NE59LCRXXU comes with 635 litres of space and includes an extra door compartment that can be used for wine rack and ice. The fridge is also smart with an ThinQ App that lets you to adjust the temperature and track energy consumption remotely.  
  
A fridge freezer drawer or stand-alone freezer are also options to add more space to your fridge. These units can provide additional storage space that doesn't take up any floor space and are a great solution for garages, home offices or game rooms. They can be reached via two doors or drawers with pull-outs. They can be used to store drinks and snacks in the office, or for storing the food items to cook when you're in the backyard.  
  
The American-style refrigerator freezer is a favorite choice for many homes. It's designed with a freezer above the fridge, instead of the horizontal split that is more common in the UK. These are usually larger than mini-fridges, and come in a side-by-side or chest-style. Some brands may have an ice maker or water dispenser or they could be fitted with a plumbed-in.  
  
Energy efficiency  
  
Refrigerators are among the biggest energy consumers in the home and an old fridge will cost you a lot to run. Removing the old fridge and replacing it with a more energy efficient model can make a huge impact on your electricity bill. Utilize the Flip Your Fridge Calculator to find out what your current refrigerator is costing you and learn about the savings you could make with an upgraded, ENERGY STAR-certified fridge.  
  
Many ENERGY STAR refrigerators are equipped with features like automatic icemakers as well as through-the-door ice dispensers. These features ensure an even temperature inside the fridge and can increase energy consumption by 14 and 20 percent.  
  
The federal efficiency standards have helped make refrigerators more efficient. Energy-saving fridges and freezers can save you hundreds of dollars in electricity bills over the course of their life compared to older models. Modern refrigerators consume less energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  
  
Manufacturers are gradually shifting to a new refrigerant, R600a. It is not a hydrofluorocarbon and does not reduce the oxygen. It is flammable, so it is important to handle it with care. Check the warranty of your refrigerator prior to purchasing it, and then learn how to use this latest refrigerant.  
  
If you are using R134a or a different kind of refrigerant, your new refrigerator should still be ENERGY Energy Star certified. The energy label on the appliance will reveal the energy efficiency rating. The energy label will show you the appliance's annual consumption of electricity in kWh. You can also compare it with other refrigerators with similar capacity.  
  
The best way to get the most energy efficiency out of your fridge is to make sure you don't overfill it. A fully-loaded refrigerator uses more energy than a partially filled fridge to maintain the proper temperature. Therefore, only keep the amount of food you know you'll require. This will decrease the number of times you open and shut the fridge. This can impact the capacity of the appliance to keep an even temperature. The more you open and close the fridge, the more energy it uses to cool down everything.  
  
Convenience  
  
Refrigerator freezers come with a range of useful features that make life more enjoyable and easier. Certain models come with Humidity Controlled Crisper Drawers which keep vegetables and fruits fresh. Some models include half Width Deli drawer for easy access to meats and cheeses. There are also In-Door Water Dispensers and Ice Dispensers that will help you save money and reduce waste by not buying bottles of water or ice. These fridges & freezers have adjustable shelves to store large items, such as platters and cookie sheets.  
  
Certain fridges are designed to serve a specific purpose. For instance, wine refrigerators and beverage fridges can be utilized at restaurant or at home. These fridges come with doors made of glass or solid, and come with freezers or without. You can also find specialty fridges that can be used as portable, such as fridges for camping and travel fridges.  
  
Certain refrigerators and freezers come in chest-style designs, which are perfect for small families and individuals. They can be stored in a basement, garage, or storage area. They also have a freezer compartment on the bottom, which makes it easier to access than conventional refrigerator freezers with the freezer section in the top.  
  
Medical freezers come with a range of convenience features that ensure the storage of vaccines and food in a secure manner in healthcare facilities. These refrigerators are equipped with battery backup systems that can provide energy in the event of an outage or disruption. Medical refrigeration systems should be maintained and tested regularly to ensure that they work correctly.  
  
Fridges & Freezers are essential appliances to keep food and medicines cold, so they can be used in nearly any situation that requires chilled drinks or foods. These appliances are particularly useful in hot climates where heat can harm the quality of food and medicines. In places like Bangkok you can see couriers delivering frozen blocks of ice to street vendors all day long to keep their food and medicines safe. These little appliances can save lives and help prevent serious health issues from occurring. It is crucial to select the correct fridge for your office or home.  
  
Design  
  
Refrigerators and freezers come in a wide variety of designs, to fit the style of every kitchen. There are slimline and curvaceous models, tall American-style freezers, single-door or double-door appliances, and more. They may have multiple cooling zones and different temperatures, as well as an Ice machine and cold water dispenser, or be plumbed in with these features already installed.  
  
The design of the fridge will affect the amount it will cost to run since it affects the amount of air that is circulated. A tall upright unit for instance is more likely to lose cooler air than a chest-style model. It will also cost more to operate.  
  
Refrigerators come in a variety of different finishes, including stainless steel, white or black plastic. The finishes aren't just for aesthetics they also help keep the air cool and ward off getting smudged by sticky fingers!  
  
A fridge-freezer is a household appliance that combines an air conditioner and an under-freezing freezer. The temperature can be set between 0degC and 5degC. This permits food items to be kept in both the fridge and freezer. The freezer section is set to a temperature of 18degC, which is perfect for long-term storage.  
  
Freezers are made for products to be accessed in their natural state and kept at very low temperatures. These conditions hinder the growth of microorganisms, slow down chemical reactions and prevent spoilage. They are most often seen in large commercial freezers however, they can be located in homes too.  
  
There are a number of useful functions that you can get for your freezer or fridge to make them more efficient and practical. For instance, Beko's HarvestFresh light tech makes use of natural light to simulate the day and night cycle in your crisper drawers which keeps your produce fresher for longer. Some appliances have an inbuilt video camera that lets you examine the contents of your appliance using an app without opening the door.
