The best energy efficient fridge freezers

Looking for a new fridge freezer? If you’d like to cut down on bills while your food chills, an energy efficient fridge freezer is worth thinking about.

The best energy rating for a fridge freezer is an A+++ energy rating. The rating system is based on the amount of energy your fridge freezer uses compared to the amount of internal space. Other factors that affect the rating are a) how low the temperature can reach in each compartment can go, and b) if a frost-free setting is included.

To make sure your fridge freezer saves energy and runs efficiently, you should try and keep the fridge temperature between 3°C and 5°C, and the freezer at around -18 °C. You should also avoid putting hot food in your fridge - it takes more energy to cool it down.
