Tips for saving energy at home when using your fridge and freezer

With energy prices soaring, it’s never been a better time to rethink how you use the appliances in your home to save energy and money. Besides helping your household budget, it will also benefit the planet, reducing CO2 emissions. Here are some helpful tips on how to reduce energy when using your fridge and freezer

• Keep to the recommended temperatures. 4 degrees for the fridge and -18 for the freezer. This secures an ideal balance between keeping food fresh and using the minimum amount of energy
• Avoid putting warm food in the fridge. This makes the fridge work harder to cool down – using more energy
• Don’t keep the door open for too long when deciding what to eat. This allows for the temperature to increase
