Ways to Save Energy on Your Freezer 

Your freezer is one of the most energy-intensive appliances in your home, so it’s important to take steps to save energy. Here are five easy ways to save energy on your freezer: 

  1. Defrost regularly. When ice builds up on the coils, it makes the freezer work harder to maintain a consistent temperature. Defrost your freezer at least once a year, or more often if necessary.
  2. Keep the coils clean. The coils on the back of your freezer help to dissipate heat. If they’re dirty, they won’t be able to work as efficiently. Vacuum the coils every few months to keep them clean. 
  3. Keeping your freezer full is a smart strategy for efficiency. It prevents warm air from entering and forming frost, maintaining a consistent temperature. Frozen food acts as insulation, and you can use ice bags or crumpled newspaper to fill empty spaces until you restock. 
  4. Choose an energy-efficient freezer. When you’re shopping for a new freezer, look for one that has the ENERGY STAR label. These appliances use less energy than standard models, which can save you money on your energy bills. 
  5. Set the temperature correctly. The ideal temperature for a freezer is 0 degrees Fahrenheit. If you set the temperature too high, your freezer will work harder and use more energy.
