Reduce Chest Freezer Energy Consumption

January 29th, 2009

If you are not using full capacity of your chest freezer, you are losing money. This is not a large amount you lose every day, but it adds up to your electricity bill and your appliance will have to work more and thus will have shorter lifespan. But why is your chest freezer working more? The empty space is just cold air that gets warm pretty fast. Then a freezer has to turn on ocasionally to cool that air.

You can prevent this by putting something solid inside, because it will hold the temperature much longer than air. Use card boxes with some insulation, like fiberglass, and seal them. That will keep your freezer cold for longer period of time so it won’t have to work so often and spend the electricity.
