Clever freezer hack could save on electricity bill this winter

Fridges washing machines, tumble dryers, kettles and "vampire devices" are all known to add substantial sums to electricity bills. However, a build-up of frost in your freezer could be adding to already sky-high electricity bills.

Frost is formed in a freezer warm air meets cold air when the door is opened and forms water which freezes. The ice in the freezer acts as an insulator to the warm air that enters when you open the door and means the appliance has to work harder to cool the temperature.
