Old fridge vs new fridge freezer, power consumption question.

Stone_Fox

Has anyone looked at this? I've got a REALLY old fridge with one of the little open fronted freezer boxes at the top.

I was thinking about changing it for a fridge freezer from argos, part code RD14DRSA

I would post a link but it won't let me! :mad:

yes, it's a bit bigger and has a dedicated freezer but it's rated 'A' for energy efficiency but I've head old fridges use a LOT of power. Any thoughts please?

I expect your new one will be more economic,without the ratings of both i don;t know by how much.
You are not going to loose out so get your new one.

Good idea Stone Fox, an A rated fridge freezer will be more energy efficient and also give you more freezer space.

If you are worried about power cost, then just check the annual consumption of any model you are interested in.
RD14DRSA is 231kWh, roughly £23 a year. A 60cm wide regular size "A" rated fridge/freezers is typically £27 a year, so it's not a major factor.
