Where is the best location to put my extra freezer to reduce energy use?
If you really need a second freezer, we have some tips for you.
It’s best to choose a location that's clean and easily accessible with moderate temperatures like the basement. If you can't find an indoor location for your freezer, unplug the unit if the temperature drops below freezing to avoid damage to the compressor.
Some people find that their freezer is empty or full at different points in the year. If that's true for you, you might think about squeezing things from a nearly empty freezer into your main refrigerator/freezer and turning it off. A full freezer will use less power than an empty one.
