Fridge Freezers Buyer's Guide

Get expert advice on choosing the right fridge freezer for your household with our impartial buyer's guide.

Think green  

Fridge freezers are hard workers. They’re on 24/7 and, as a result, use a lot of energy.

 

They’re given ratings from A++ (the best and most efficient) to G. At Currys we only stock fridge freezers rated B or higher for energy efficiency. An A+ and A++ energy rating means the fridge freezer saves 25% and 45% more energy respectively than an A rated one does. 

 

Switching to more energy-efficient appliances can make a bigger difference than you think – both on the environment and on your pocket. According to the Energy Savings Trust, if every UK household upgraded to an A+ or A++ fridge-freezer we would save the equivalent of 2 power stations of electricity every year.

 

Some fridge freezers also cool the fridge and the freezer compartments separately, which further reduces energy consumption.
