Time you gave your fridge some TLC?
It may seem a little daft, but getting the hoover out and giving your fridge coils the once over won’t just save you energy but money too!
The black pipe work on the rear of your fridge (the coils) is used to regulate the fridges temperature. When these get dusty, the fridge has to work that little bit harder to cool your food. When it does this it uses more energy and also could reduce the life of the appliance.
So, make commitment today to find 5 minutes to pull the fridge out and hoover those coils!

Keeping them full helps fridges/freezers run more effiently. Rather than filling-up with excess food you might waste. Bottles/jugs of tap water would do the job.
Fantastic tip Sally! Thanks for sharing…
Thanks for the article. It is a great tip and also a very simple Eco action which we can do.
I will have a look at my fridge in the morning with duster in hand!

Good tip never in my life have I done so – I will try it out this week!
This is certainly not daft – though it did sound a little daft when I read it first – Well, I think it’s a revealing tip and I am going to hoover the coils the first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks for the tip. I have a energy-saving tip for you too: I read an article somewhere about how you should position your fridge as farther away as possible from any kind of heat source like direct sunlight, heat vents and heat generating appliances like stoves, ovens and microwaves.
