Re: Devices for home energy saving 11Nov 09, 2011 10:02 pm An excellent device for saving energy is a plastic bottle. Why? Because if fridges and freezers are fairly empty they have a low thermal mass and when you open the door most of the cold air escapes. However if you fill a heap of bottles with water or freeze them to fill the space, they will store cold and so when the doors are opened, the temps return much quicker once the door is closed. Simple and effective. Also make sure the air can flow through the fridge and freezer. So don't pack it so tight with food and such that the vents can't work so well.
