They are a great asset for busy days when you have to cook meals quickly. + +Freezers are able to operate between 0 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. If they are placed in an unsuitable environment they will need to work harder and consume more energy. + +Location + +A freezer that is outdoors must be located in an environment that will allow it to be running efficiently. This is because freezing appliances perform best in cool climates and this is a factor that needs to be taken into consideration when deciding where to place the freezer. The freezer should be protected from direct sunlight since it can decrease its energy efficiency, which can result in a higher electric cost. Refrigerators that are in direct sunlight are also susceptible to temperature fluctuations. This could cause excessive wear and tear on the appliance. + +The choice of where to put the freezer could be influenced by convenience and access. For example, a freezer that is situated in a shed or garage, which is accessible through the kitchen, might be ideal. However the freezer that is in a separate shed which requires you to go outside in the snow or rain to access, may not be as practical as one situated inside. + +A cover will protect the freezer from weather, debris and backyard animals. This is particularly important for those living close to the ocean where the salty air can cause damage to the freezer's components. + +Size + +The size of your freezer is an important aspect to take into consideration when shopping. It is essential to ensure that the freezer you pick will be large enough to fit your family and needs. A freezer that has a large capacity is a good investment that will help you save money if you purchase in large quantities. + +As a general rule, you should allow 2.5 cubic feet for each household member. This will allow you keep a wide range of frozen food, including meats and vegetables, and desserts drinks, as well as other protein-rich foods. Begin by measuring the space in your garage or shed to determine the size of freezer you'll need. + +If you don't have plenty of space, consider a compact or small freezer, such as the GE Garage Ready 17.3 Cu Frost Free upright freezer. This freezer can fit in a small space and has an open door that can be opened either direction. It has premium insulation to protect the freezer from extreme temperature fluctuations and ensure a consistent operation. It also has an inbuilt defrost timer that automatically clears ice and prevents overflow. + +Frigidaire EFRF696AMZ upright freezers are larger and provide more storage space. This model is specifically designed for use in cold environments and can be used in temperatures between -10C and -18C making it suitable for cold garages or outbuildings. It has a large interior that can hold up to 20 bags of ice and has removable wire shelves. + +If you're in search of an appliance that is able to withstand temperatures of ice, check the manufacturer's specifications to make sure the unit will work in your garage or outbuilding. Most manufacturers will list the freezer's climate class and the coldness it is able to operate in a cold environment. Certain brands, like Beko, have freezers that operate safely at temperatures as low as 15C, thanks to their FreezerGuard technology. But, it is recommended to check the warranty of the manufacturer to ensure that the freezer will withstand your specific garage or outbuilding conditions. + +Energy efficiency + +You'll want to select an energy-efficient model if you intend to put the freezer in a shed, garage or other area which is not controlled by climate. These models will offer greater insulation than other freezers, and they will not lose as much cold air when the door is opened. They will also be cheaper to run, as they require less power. Look for models with low-frost technology to save energy and decrease defrosting. + +You can choose from a wide range of energy-efficient freezers that come in a variety of sizes. They are available in traditional brick-and-mortar shops like Walmart, [best French style fridge freezer uk](https://www.frydge.uk/) Buy, and Home Depot, as well as online retailers such as Amazon and eBay. Certain local utility companies offer rebates for freezers that meet certain efficiency requirements. + +It is crucial to be aware of the size of your freezer as well as how much electricity it will require to freeze the food. You can use an energy calculator to calculate the cost of running a freezer every year. + +Freezers are within their advertised power consumption when they're cooling. However, this is not an indefinite amount. When they reach a certain temperature the components (such as the compressor motor and evaporator fan motor) will go into idle mode. + +Take into consideration the ENERGY STAR rating when selecting the right freezer. This certification signifies that it meets certain energy usage criteria established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy. This is particularly important if you are planning on using the freezer in a shed or garage that isn't climate-controlled since these units tend to consume more energy than a conventional freezer. + +Also look for freezers that come that have a guarantee against power failures and a high temperature alarm or light. This will ensure that they continue to work even if there is a power outage. You can also buy freezers that have a self-defrost function, which will decrease the frequency of defrosting, and also reduce your energy costs. + +Warranty + +Although freezers are typically designed to be kept in a closed space but some people may require an extra large freezer that can be used in their garage or shed. If the temperature in this kind of space is too low, it could cause the freezer to stop working properly or even break. Think about purchasing an appliance that has an assurance to cover any issues that might arise if it is installed in an outbuilding. + +Many manufacturers have realised that their customers often have limited space. They have developed chest freezers that can be safely stored in garages or outbuildings. These freezers are designed with a 'freezer-protection ' technology which means they can be used even in temperatures as low as -10degC. Brands like Beko, Ice King, and Russell Hobbs all offer this type freezer for outbuildings. + +Some companies, like Montpellier has a specialization in outdoor freezers. It offers a 99-litre white freestanding chest freezer that can be used to build garages or outbuildings. It is classified as A+ energy efficient and comes with FreezerGuard.
