I’ve also just given myself a bit of a shock by checking the energy consumption of my fridge. It is a mini (camping type) 240 V fridge that was given to me 20 years ago. It takes 90 W which I knew about but was on almost full time yesterday which I didn’t know about. It took 2 kWh Say 30p/unit that’s 60p a day, 360*60 = £216/year . I’ve actually unplugged it and put contents in a cool bag – I was hoping that a couple of things I’d put in from the freezer would cool it down nicely but apparently not
The freezer on the other hand is newish and even in a warmer room only took 0.3 kWh for the day. So if I can't get the cool bag to work I’m thinking of this for £80 which is similar to others at about 100 kW/year so about £30, which would be repayment time of 6 months. Means I scrap my old fridge but it was old when I got it and it looks like it’s on its last legs anyway.
Ooo 45 years ago in a bedsit I had a cool box made of sort of expanded polystyrene which you poured water in and the evaporation cooled it down. I need something like that again.
