I think this is incorrect.We have large freezer,as have a lot stored in another for our catering business,we have a fair amount of meat in them,and our daily total house hold cost for power is around $2.50 per day.

Also fridges and freezer use a lot less power when they are full,this is a fact.

So have them fairly full to use less power.Just had a look at our power bill,we export around $100 of power in three months,plus the solar panels knock out the power we use when they are making power.So they seem to reduce the bills a bit,its a 1.5 KW set up with 8 panels.

Another way to reduce power bills is get riid of those old desk top computers,they chew up the power,a lappy use only $6 per year.

Cheers Chris
