new fridge doing very well

I'm very happy with my new fridge/freezer's electricity consumption. I plugged my little meter in and had to wait quite a while before it regsitered anything at all!

After a couple of hours, it's usage appeared to be around .03kWh If if had to cope with this kind of temperature all year round, it would still only cost me £23 (assuming 9p per kWh)

The old one cost vastly more than that. Around £70 per anum if memory serves. THe payback period is about 4 years. And a lot of saving in CO2 emissions as well.

Now, I wonder what else is eating electricity in the house...
