Tips To Save Energy and Money

1.     Buy a New Fridge

Old refrigerators and freezers consume the most energy as they do not comply with new energy-efficient technology. So, if you have an old refrigerator or freezer, it is high time that you get rid of it as soon as possible. You can buy GEM’s refrigerator which is the best in technology and comes with the latest energy efficient saving method which will save a lot of energy and money in the long run.

2.   Choose Location Carefully

Location is very important when placing your new or old refrigerator. You shouldn’t place it in the corner or in direct sunlight, as this will make the back-side of your refrigerator hotter than it already is. So, it is better to place it somewhere it has got someplace to breathe so that the hotness could go get out and not get stored around it. This puts extra pressure on the compressor resulting in more energy consumption. Also read – Best Refrigerators in Delhi-NCR 2021: Single and Multi-Door Fridge.

3.   Check Your Thermostat

Setting your refrigerator’s temperature at 5-degree Celsius and at -18 degrees C for the freezer can save you a lot energy. For each degree, your refrigerator uses six percent more energy which means more energy consumption and paying more electricity bills. So, if you have a double-door refrigerator, we suggest you change the temperature now. GEM India offers you various types of refrigerators which you can choose from that come installed with the latest technology and features.

4.   Close The Door!

We often forget to close the door in a hurry which puts extra pressure on the fridge’s compressor. The compressor now has to put more cooling into the system because all the existing cooling is now being transferred to the outside. So, make it a rule or your daily mantra that whenever you will open the refrigerator, you will make sure that the door is closed! Got it?

5.    Defrost Items in The Main Compartment

See, if you have a single door fridge then we suggest you upgrade your fridge as soon as possible because this type of refrigerator doesn’t have a feature where you can set two different temperatures for the main compartment – where you keep all your fresh vegetables, fruits, and leftover food, and then you have a second compartment which is your freezer where you store ice trays, frozen food, etc.

So, when you defrost a single door fridge, it lowers the whole fridge’s temperature, which means, less cooling and more pressure on the compressor resulting in more electricity bills. But, if you have a double-door fridge that you can purchase from GEM, you won’t have to defrost the whole fridge, but only the main compartment.
