OK, hows this......two, 20 year old side by side fridge/freezers. Energuide label still on says 120kwh PER MONTH......replaced with bottom drawer fridges with 550kwh ANNUAL consumption. To top it off, one door on the main fridge was warped so it never closed. The old owners kept this going for years. I couldn't stand it for more than 2 weeks, haha. The damn compressor never stopped.

Me thinks I have a quick payback with this one.


I wondered how the house was heating up so much by 10AM so with the lights, heater of a fridge and the next big thing.....the attic. 800 ft2 attic, 2x4 ceiling joists, 2" of kraft faced batts + maybe 3" of vermiculite (possible asbestos used in it, i'm sending for an analysis) so not much insulation. Time for 16" of blown in cellulose.
