Afternoon all,
bit of an odd one perhaps.
If I have a fridge rated at 170kw/h and a freezer rated at 260kw/h which would be cheaper to run at 10C?
I'm converting one of the above into a Fermenting cupboard for brewing beer, I figured that the added insulation of the freezer would mean that the temperature retention would be better meaning that the compressor would activate less often - saving me money. Am I near the mark or would the fridge be better? I shall be running them at various times between 0C and 18C.
Any help much appreciated,
Cheers
