Hi Niky,

the fridge is certainly one of the main cosumer of power in our housholds. But LEDs are nice too, i use them as well.

Be careful when you insulate your fridge, make sure that you identify the cooling coils at the exterior of your firdge, they must not be insulated of course. Maybe you jsut stick to insulating the outside, cause insulating the inside might bring hygienic issues and sometimes its difficult to identify the evaporator in new fridges cause they might be integrated in the wall. And some new fridges with integrated freezers have heating elements (yes that is true) inside the fridgewalls. These must not be insulated neither.

Please tell me how it is going with your project, feel free to leave a comment at my blog too.

Allen
