So, you've decided it's still cheaper just to pay for refrigerator repair? Orlando's humid weather can be a problem for refrigerators.  Every time you open the door, cool dry air is replaced with warm, moist air.  Then, as the warm, moist air is cooled, it contract, creating a weak vacuum inside—and making the refrigerator hard to open for a few minutes.  Unless, that is, you have an older model that you've nicely broken the gasket seal on, so that it opens and closes easily—and you can actually see the wasted energy seeping out the sides of the refrigerator.

Saving money with your refrigerator can be a tricky business.  Sure, you can be extreme and try turning it off at night, or filling the fridge with ice from outside (if you live in a climate with snow in the wintertime, that is), but do these things really work?  Or are they just urban myths?

Pretty much all the research shows that the biggest energy waster with refrigerators is when people open it and stare inside for a long time.  The longer you stare, the more cool air escapes, the more energy will have to be expended to cool it again.  But what can you do, tell your teenager there's no more food in the house?  Most of the time, we know what's inside anyway.  Try to minimize the staring, and get the most out of your open refrigerator when it is open. 

Another simple tip is to set the refrigerator for the temperature you need food to be at inside, and no cooler.  Modern refrigerators are extremely efficient, and can end up being de-facto freezers if you set them too low.  Most of the time around 40 degrees Fahrenheit is plenty cold for whatever you have inside.

Whatever your reason for choosing refrigerator repair, Orlando is one place where having a working refrigerator is an essential.
