Arctic Aunt will bust those freezing myths

Freezers cost less to run if they are full

Almost false

A full freezer might use a tiny bit less electricity than a half full freezer, however the amount of electricity used will be much more dependent on other factors such as where it is located. To reduce electricity consumption, place it in as cool a location as possible, keep the condenser coil clean and well ventilated and ensure that the freezer doesn’t ice up.
