Frost Free Fridge Freezer Sale

Frost-free freezers can eliminate the need to defrost by using an alarm clock and heating coil to periodically warm the coils, melting any ice buildup. This requires energy, but also time and hassle.

Refrigerators that do not have a freezer with a non-frost feature use electricity, cost less to purchase and last longer. They do require manual defrosting.

1. Energy efficiency

Frost can accumulate in fridges and block the shelves, leaving little space to store food items. It also causes the fridge to work harder, which can drive up the cost of electricity. A refrigerator that is frost-free can stop this from happening by keeping the coils free of frozen ice. Frost develops when water vapor condenses on the cold coils that distribute refrigerant. The freezing ice melts once it is in contact with warm air. It's similar to the water beading on a glass of iced tea on a hot day.


Choose an energy-efficient model to reduce your energy bills. Refrigerators and fridges make up 17% of domestic energy consumption in Britain. Choose models that have the Energy Saving Recommended logo as well as an Ecodesign score of a high standard from the EU. B&Q offers a variety of energy-efficient fridge-freezers.

The energy efficiency of a fridge is not just about how much energy it uses but also the amount of heat it produces. To reduce condensation, look for a frost-free model with an element that heats up that is anti-sweat. These heating elements are often incorporated into the frame of the freezer and activated by a temperature sensor when the ambient temperature rises above 32 degrees Celsius. They use a small amount of energy, but are much more efficient than manual defrost heaters.

In frost free integrated fridge freezer to the energy savings, consider the type of refrigerant you use in the freezer. Some old fridges and freezers contain hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). These powerful greenhouse gases are responsible for climate change and deplete oxygen. The EU is phasing them out, so new appliances should use HFC-free refrigerants such as R600A and R290.

Select a freezer that makes use of Greenfreeze as the refrigerant for those who want to avoid frost. It is a mixture of propane, isobutane, and cyclopentane with a very low potential for ozone depletion. If you're shopping for a chest freezer, consider one that is equipped with Greenfreeze refrigerant too. These models do not emit CFCs and have a lesser impact on the ozone.

2. Convenience

Frost on the freezer will stop cold air from reaching the food, forcing the fridge to work more. This can result in higher electricity costs due to the energy loss. Frost-free refrigerators can avoid this by making use of a timer, heating coil and temperature sensor to periodically warm the coils, which melt any ice that has formed. This process takes up less energy than manual defrosting and can be done at a time that works for you, without needing to manually do it.

NoFrost refrigerator freezers offer greater convenience. If you don't need to defrost, the cold air circulates more efficiently. This creates the perfect climate for meat, fish, and salads to stay longer and fresher.

Some models have LED lighting inside, while others come with a convenient built-in defrost timer that lets you know when it's time to clean the evaporator. Go through the manual of your appliance to find more information.

Ice buildup above and below the unit can cause airflow to be affected and the temperature to rise.

4. Storage
