Buying Guide

A household freezer is in use 24 hours per day.  We recommend that you only consider an Energy Star rated freezer.  Purchasing an efficient freezer not only saves you money on operating cost, but one unit of energy saved at home typically saves three units of energy at the power plant. Our Energy Star freezers are available from Crosley, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire.  

Freezer capacity is in cubic feet.  If you purchase in bulk, by the smallest freezer that will store your items.  The more full the freezer, the less is costs to operate.  Chest freezer are the most efficient configuration.  Some freezer doors can have the hinges attached on either side.  Pick a door opening configuration that you prefer.

Your choice of colors tends to be the traditional white and stainless.  Stainless has a sleek look, but you will need to be diligent in keeping it fingerprint free.

Now that you have a model selected, see if the shelves are configured to your satisfaction.  An automatic defrost is a nice feature.

Installation Details

Will the freezer fit through the door?  We will ask you to measure all the doors we need to come through to make sure.  If you don't currently have an ice maker, chances are that a water line will need to be installed.  We can install a line for an extra fee.  

Keep your freezer in a well ventilated area  for best operation.  Follow the manufacturers recommendations.
