    Not irritating. Helpful.

    Thanks for pointing out my typo.
    To normal people, it's irritating.

    You'll just have to take my word for it, weirdo.

    Yep. Used one last week.
    Useful when you go to a place without electricity (cabin in the woods and the like). Also entertaining when drunk at 5 in the morn and trying to work out the physics of obtraining cold through using fire.

    You're supposed to kill the chickens before you put them in the freezer



    To answer your question, I would say about 20-30 quid a year perhaps.

    (but that's only a guess based on no actual facts or any knowledge about this subject whatsoever)

    Please let us know the following in order to make a reasonable calculation on the power saving.

    Power rating of old appliance.
    Power rating of new appliance.
    Ambient temperature of room.
    Average food load,..
    Frequency of shopping.
    Average temperature of shopping when put in appliance.
    Frequency of door opening.

    Also you will have to bear in mind that any potential saving will have to be off-set against the deprecation the new item will have. Just use 25% as a reasonable amount for the first year. So if the appliance costs £160 (for ease) then allow £40 for that year. I suspect the saving will be less than that.

    Straight line or reducing balance. FFS, fridges last longer than four years and you can't just go changing convention in the middle of its lifespan willy nilly.

    We have decided to depreciate fridges out of the books as soon as practical. That way we are not falsely inflating the value of the house by relying on the potential transfer fees of white goods.

    It's tough, but makes more sence in the long run.
