Fridge Sizes

The most important consideration when buying a fridge is, "how much space have I got?". Fridges are commonly available in the following widths to fit most standard kitchen spaces:

  • 50cm

  • 55cm

  • 60cm

Under-Counter Fridges

These are designed to fit neatly under a standard kitchen work-top and are the ideal choice for small kitchens with limited space.

Tall Free-Standing Fridges

These are ideal for kitchens where you have lots of height but limited floor space or want to freeze in bulk.

Energy Efficiency

All our refrigeration appliances are issued with a performance class rating for Energy. Each of these is graded from 'A+ - G', with 'A+' being the most efficient and economical in terms of energy consumption.

Look for the energy saving recommended label if you want the most energy efficient appliances for your home.

Energy Table

Energy efficiency gradings

All fridges receive an energy efficiency grading ranging from A - G (with A being the most efficient).

Standardised tests, monitored by Trading Standards, are carried out by manufacturers, who are responsible for grading their appliances.

Energy Saving Tips

Save Energy & Money by following these simple steps:

  • Regularly defrost your ice box (if your fridge has one) - ice build up significantly reduces cooling efficiency and results in higher energy use.

  • Locate your appliance in an area with low ambient temperature, i.e. away from radiators, cookers or from direct sunlight.

  • Always close the door.

  • Look out for the energy saving recommended logo on fridges & freezers.
