I don't know how large your fridge is, but modern fridge freezers use so little energy I doubt it worth the effort. If it really bothers you running an air-conditioner to cool down the kitchen would cost a few cents a day.

We have a Bosch KGE36BW41 which is plenty large for 2 people (300Liters) and due to it's A+++ rating only uses 150kWh a year. I measured our usage to be around 120kWh, so that would only be something like 0.3 kWh per day. Half the year it's beneficial heat, the other half not.

I would focus on replacing incandescents to LED, shutting down energy hungry devices like servers & TV's and just keeping the heat out with sunshades or insulation.
