Is your fridge working harder than it needs to this summer?
When the weather heats up, your fridge has to work much harder to keep everything cool. A little maintenance can help it run more efficiently, keep food fresher and may even reduce energy use.
Here are a few simple tips:
✔ Make sure there’s enough space around your fridge for heat to escape – avoid pushing it tightly against walls or into enclosed spaces.
✔ Vacuum the back and underneath occasionally to remove dust that can restrict airflow.
✔ Keep the door seals clean and check they’re in good condition.
✔ If you spot mould or mildew on the seals, it could mean warm air is getting into the fridge, making it work harder to maintain the correct temperature.
✔ Try not to leave the door open for longer than necessary, especially on hot days.
If your fridge still isn’t keeping food as cold as it should, it may be time for an upgrade. Our team is always happy to help you find the right model for your home.
