I've been thinking something similar for my kegerator and the extra fridge in our garage. I was thinking about off a few hours overnight. While the next run time might take longer it seems a lot of these appliances can be more efficient from longer run times and larger temperature differentials. With digital controls 1F differential are common which translates to more start ups and cycles then necessary.
