Gas Fridge talks about power outages and food in your refrigerator

The EZ Freeze gas refrigerator from Gas Fridge can save you the loss of perishable food during a power outage.
There are some natural disasters, like hurricanes, that come with warnings and some, like earthquakes, that don't come with any. When the power goes out it doesn't matter. How long can the power be off before we find ourselves throwing out hundreds of dollars’ worth of food or risk eating it? If you have a gas refrigerator you don’t have to worry about power outages affecting your perishable food supply. If you have an electric-powered refrigerator, Gas Fridge has some tips that will help you know what to do if you lose power to your fridge:

After four hours, if the power is still off you'll need to start monitoring the temperature inside your fridge. Once the temperature inside reaches 40°F or higher, perishable food is only good for two more hours before you should toss it.

Foods to Toss
  • Soups, stews, and casseroles that contain meat, poultry, or seafood
  • Any kind of milk, cream, yogurt, sour cream and soft, shredded or low fat cheese
  • Eggs and anything that contains eggs
  • Cut fruit
  • Creamy condiments like dressings, spaghetti sauce and mayonnaise that have been over 50°F for 8+ hours
  • Uncooked refrigerator biscuits, rolls, cookie dough   
  • Fresh pasta, salads   
  • Cheesecake, cream or custard pies, cream-filled pastries   
  • Pre-washed greens, cooked vegetables, vegetable juice, garlic in oil,tofu

Foods You Can Keep   
  • Hard, processed, grated hard cheeses (Parmesan and Romano)
  • Butter or margarine
  • Fruit juice, fresh whole fruits, dried fruits
  • Nut butters, jams, jellies, ketchup, olives, pickles, BBQ sauce, relish, vinegar-based dressings,
  • Fruit pies   
  • Raw veggies

Knowing what to keep in the freezer is a lot easier than the refrigerator. Basically, you just want foods, no matter what kind, to stay frozen! After the power comes back on, check foods for ice crystals. If there are still crystals, you can safely refreeze it again.

If you'd rather have the peace of mind that your refrigerated food is being kept cold during your next power outage, call the experts at Gas Fridge at 928-636-1956 to ask about our EZ Freeze line of products.

Gas Fridge explains living off the grid

Gas Fridge offers you the gas powered refrigerators you need for living off the grid.Whether you are prepping for a national disaster or simply for your family budget, living off the grid can become a new way of life. Gas Fridge will explain what it means to live off the grid.

The term “off-grid” has become a very common expression over the past few years. Much of it has to do with alarming current events. On the other hand, some people have just had enough of being a slave to the modern world. Whatever the reason, going off-grid is a trend growing like wildfire. Yet there are still many people who know little about it.

Let’s assume you’ve never heard anything about off-grid living. You live on the electric grid. If you have power running to your home from the community in which you live, then you are considered “on the grid.” Every time something goes wrong at the electric company, and they suffer a power outage, so do you.

Off-the-grid living means the opposite. Living “off the grid” means:
  • You would live with either no electricity or a self-sustained source of electricity, for example from a gas-powered generator.
  • You may choose to refrigerate with propane.
  • You would also either use an outhouse or a septic tank. You would have a water well or another water source nearby from which to collect water.
  • Many of those who are off the grid continue the concept into other areas of their lives, including being totally self-sustained by raising their own food.

Now that you have an idea of what it is to live off the grid, does a lifestyle of living off the grid interest you? If you’re considering purchasing an EZ Freeze propane gas refrigerator, the experienced staff at Gas Fridge is happy to assist you.

Gas Fridge shares helpful tips for setting up your gas refrigerator

When you're ready to purchase a propane or natural gas refrigerator, Gas Fridge offers the best warranty in the industry.
When you purchase your gas refrigerator, it is recommended that you hire a licensed technician to safely and expertly set up your gas connections and install your appliance. Gas Fridge wants you to be aware of the general steps for safe installation. In the event you smell gas, immediately open all doors and windows. Do not operate electrical switches. Extinguish all open flames. Immediately call your gas service provider.

Connecting to your gas supply
All EZ Freeze Propane Gas Refrigerators are equipped with a fitting that does not need tape, liquid or paste sealers. A flex line is used to connect the unit to your gas supply. It's recommended that you make your connection to an On/Off valve. Make sure the flex line is long enough to give you the room to move the unit away from the wall. By doing this, you will have enough line to allow access to the rear of the unit for service.
   
Testing for Leaks
ALL connections must be tested for leaks prior to ignition. After ignition, test all connections again for leaks. You can use the traditional soapy water solution to test for leaks or professional solutions like "Gas Leak Detector" liquids. Apply the solution using a soft bristle brush and inspect the connections for bubbles.
   
Gas Pressure
All EZ Freeze Propane Refrigerators are designed to operate from an LP gas supply with 11" W.C. (Water Column) gas pressure. Your gas supplier will be able to check the pressure at the time of installation or you can check it yourself with a Manometer.
   
Leveling
Absorption type propane gas refrigerators all operate with the use of gravity. The angle of the tubing on the unit will determine the flow rate of the liquids. To ensure the best efficiency, it is essential that the unit be level to get an accurate flow rate.
   
Ventilation
Air ventilation (circulation) is very important - the larger the unit, the more circulation is required. Situate your refrigerator so that there is plenty of air circulation above and behind the unit. By providing plenty of air circulation you will prevent excessive heat buildup, allow for efficient refrigerator performance, and prevent a draft which could cause the burner to blow out.

If you’re considering purchasing an EZ Freeze propane gas refrigerator, the experienced staff at Gas Fridge is happy to offer technical assistance and the best warranty in the industry. For more information on gas refrigerators and accessories, contact us today at 928-636-6674. Learn more at http://www.gas-fridge.com.

Gas Fridge offers maintenance tips for gas refrigerators

Gas Fridge offers the EZ Freeze gas refrigerator with the best warranty in the business.
A gas refrigerator is an important investment. As with any investment, there are maintenance requirements to get the most out of your gas appliance. Gas Fridge suggests these maintenance tips to increase the longevity of your gas refrigerator.

Proper cleanliness is important, especially on the inside of the refrigerator. A recommended and convenient time for cleaning your refrigerator is during the regular maintenance or right after defrosting.

To clean the inside:
  • Use a soft cloth
  • Use a mild soap and warm water solution
  • Rinse the inside with a baking soda and warm water mixture of approximately 1-2 tbsp. to 1 qt. warm water.
  • Wipe dry with a soft cloth
  • NEVER use a coarse cloth for cleaning
For the outside:
  • Clean the outside with the same instructions and products shown above for the inside
  • Waxing the outside of the refrigerator box may prevent against minor scratches and add to rust protection
  • Use a standard auto wax on the painted metal surfaces only. DO NOT use on the plastic handles or rubber gasket
  • Always check the gasket surfaces for debris as this can cause a cold air leak from the interior.

Cleaning the absorption cooling unit will help with the unit’s overall efficiency. This should be done every three months. Simply use a large soft bristle brush and clean the dust and lint from the condenser fins (at rear top of cooling unit) and the coil pipes (at the bottom) .

Keep the area around and under the refrigerator clean. This will help prevent debris from being sucked into the burner tube. This is actually the most common problem with propane powered refrigerators not operating correctly. This should be done every three months.

A gas refrigerator is an important investment. The maintenance tips above will help to preserve your investment and keep your gas refrigerator operating properly. For all of your gas refrigerators, accessories and parts, contact Gas Fridge today at 928-636-6674. Learn more about the EZ Freeze non-electric refrigerator at http://www.gas-fridge.com.

Gas Fridge Talks About the Benefits of a Propane Refrigerator During a Natural Disaster

For all of your gas appliance needs contact Gas-Fridge, one of the nation's largest suppliers of gas appliances
Earthquakes, hurricanes and other catastrophic events generally mean a loss of electric power to the affected community. Gas Fridge explains the importance of having a propane refrigerator to get you and your family through a natural disaster.

No electricity needed. Did you know that a propane refrigerator does not need electricity to operate? During natural disasters, electric power is often lost for long periods of time, sometimes several days. During those power outages, a refrigerator that doesn’t run on electricity means you won’t have to worry about food spoilage or harm to medications that need refrigeration. Being able to keep food and medications stored at the right temperature can prevent health risks while waiting for electric power to be restored.

Available fuel. Propane fuel is highly portable and can be purchased for emergency use. Generally, there is no shortage of propane during hurricanes. The availability of propane makes it ideal to have propane-fueled appliances for your emergency preparedness plan.

Dependable operation. Propane-fueled refrigerators have been in use for a number of years, and are known to be very dependable. They are widely used in recreational vehicles, cabins and off-grid locations. Since they have fewer moving parts, gas refrigerators are quiet and less likely to require replacement of worn-out parts.

For peace of mind knowing you are prepared for any emergency, and to learn more about gas refrigerators and their features, contact Gas Fridge today at 928-636-6674 or visit our website at http://www.gas-fridge.com.

Gas Fridge; Who Needs One? Basic Information from Gas Fridge

Propane refrigeraters and gas refrigerator repair are available at Gas Fridge.A gas powered refrigerator is a household, RV, or commercial refrigerator operating from a gas source in order to create cooling. Usually propane is used since it is portable and relatively easy to handle. Gas refrigerators are also powered by natural gas. Most RV units are manufactured as propane gas models and some have electric 110 and or 12 volt capability. Kerosene can be used, but it is not recommended. It’s not as popular and burns very dirty and requires constant maintenance of the burner to keep it clean. Gas Fridge has a few answers for anyone who is new to the idea of a propane, or gas refrigerator.

Most household style gas fridges do not have electric power options. The gas fridge is intended to be operated in a home without electrical service. Compared to electric units, the household propane powered refrigerator models are simpler in design and construction. This keeps the failure of parts to a minimum. There are no moving parts of a household gas refrigerator other than the operator adjustable thermostat. The cooling unit, or the absorption system, is a completely sealed system with heat and gravity acting as the motivators.

Some off grid appliance owners elect to use a gas refrigerator that has been salvaged from an RV motor home or RV trailer to use within the household. There a few disadvantages to this:

•    The RV units are much smaller in capacity and usually will not provide enough space to feed a family for more than 2 or 3 days.
•    Most of the RV units require 12 volt DC electric to keep the gas solenoids open during gas operation. Two power sources are needed for operation. Gas and electricity
•    The cooling units are designed for the life expectancy of an RV which is much shorter than that of a home's life expectancy.

Before you consider rebuilding a unit for an RV, we recommend a little research, such as an internet search, "rebuilt RV refrigerator cooling units" or, “RV gas Fridge,” before you make any decision. If you have more questions, we’re happy to answer them at 928-636-6674 or visit our website http://gas-fridge.com/

Gas Fridge Explains Why You Need a Propane Refrigerator

See the experts at Gas-Fridge to learn why you need a propane refrigerator.
Gas-Fridge is the leader in propane refrigerators and your expert in knowing which unit best suits the purpose. Gas-Fridge will help you select a propane refrigerator that is perfect for remote cabins, vacation homes, hunting camps, or RV. They come in sizes ranging from 10 cubic feet up to 21 cubic feet.

Here are more reasons to own a gas fridge.

  • You live off the grid. You don't like the noise an electric refrigerator makes. You have considered the efficiency of a Gas Fridge. Your home is subject to natural disasters and power outages.
  • One of the most basic necessities in life is food. The need for food storage is practical, and how food is stored has an affect on your health and the length of your life. Cold food storage when done properly is important for healthy living. Consider all these reasons and you will see why a gas fridge is right for you.
  • All refrigerators must run from an energy source. One of the gas fridge advantages is how easy it is to store propane and unlike electricity, it can be transported. While most homeowners run the risk of losing electricity during a thunderstorm, the propane refrigerator will continue running, keeping your perishables fresh.
  • One power outage of more than two days can completely decimate your food supply in your electric fridge. With the cost of food within the fridge being upwards of $500.00, it pays to have a gas fridge as a back up unit.
  • The myth that a gas refrigerator does not cool as well as an electric is not true. Not only will they run colder than an electric unit, the absorption unit has far fewer parts than an electric compressor system. Fewer parts mean less chance of a failure. Other than the thermostat, here are virtually no moving parts within the propane gas refrigeration system.

If you have chosen to live off the grid, there is not much of an alternative. Many will find that purchasing ice for coolers will become inconvenient and not cost effective. DC refrigerator solar powered units are an alternative if the area has enough sun light per day and the solar system is large enough to handle the enormous load.

“I found bad advice on the internet about Gas Refrigerators!” Gas-Fridge is here to help.

Gas-Fridge offers Propane refrigerators, accessories, installation and tips for off the grid refrigerators.The founders and employees of Dynamx, Inc. have all enjoyed the off-grid lifestyle for over 25 years. Gas-Fridge understands the systems and usage of the propane appliances they sell, and they understand propane appliances. They have also been using propane refrigerators for over 25 years. They believe in what we sell and our staff has been trained by the manufacturers.

Gas-Fridge offers technical support by phone, and carry in service for repairs on all brands.
Occasionally we discover an article from the internet such as this one posted by The Tiny House that may need clarification.  Gas Fridge would like to point out some misinformation here.

The author should seek advice from a qualified professional, instead of someone who is not an authority. The fridge is not designed for the purpose stated in the article. It should be able to function reasonably well in its current configuration.

Look for user error or installer error. Start by testing the gas pressure. This unit switches from high to low flame to control the rate of ammonia solution circulating through the system. When gas pressure is set too high, then the low flame circuit is not low enough. This causes too much solution circulation and creates freezing.

Propane refrigerators are sensitive to gas pressure. Use a secondary regulator. Be sure to have the correct pressure from the regulator. Most other gas appliances are not that sensitive to pressure. Set the pressure spot to 11 inches of water column for your propane refrigerator, or EZ Freeze brand.

If that tests okay, then the thermostat may have been calibrated too high and the unit is switching back to high flame too early and switching back too late. EZ Freeze uses this same thermostat within both the gas refrigerator units and gas freezer units. The difference is how they calibrate them for the temperature range. Calibration for this unit may have been set leaning to a colder setting from the factory. 

This unit does not have the best thermo-insulation design between the fridge and freezer so leakage between the two spaces is a factor. This fridge was never intended for full time living in a home. It was made for an RV. RV’s are not built for efficiency; they are built for recreation or surviving away from home.

Gas Fridge Gives Some Insight on the Benefits of Owning a Modern Propane Refrigerator

A Little History and Comparisons about Propane Refrigerators from Gas Fridge

Propane gas refrigerators have changed since they first came onto the market. The newer models with ammonia cooling systems are lighter weight and there is a larger selection of models to choose from. Gas-Fridge provides all the information you need for deciding which propane refrigerator is right for you.

The SERVEL was built from the 1930s – 1950s, for durability and to last for generations. Today’s units are more streamline, lighter weight, yet dependable, and should last about 15 years.

Today you can find propane refrigerators with higher quality workmanship made with lighter materials, and weighing a total of 150-275 lbs. These are sold under the names DIAMOND, EZ-FREEZE, DOMETIC, CONSUL, and DANBY. The older units sold under the names SERVEL, ELECTROLUX, and eventually DOMETIC, weighed as much as 400-500 lbs.

The DIAMOND and EZ-FREEZE are made in the US, by separate manufacturers.
Modern propane refrigerators from Gas-Fridge are lighter weight, more durable, and burn cleaner.
The Pros of and older unit:

Materials used were made of galvanized components, which eliminated rust. The evaporator was galvanized too, which also eliminated rust, and caused no cooling leakage.

Many people loved the longevity and they have been in use for over 70 years.

Older SERVELs burn much dirtier than newer propane refrigerators. Modern units use only half the amount of fuel.

Older propane refrigerators emit CO gas to unhealthy levels, as much as 1500 parts per million.

Older SERVELs are illegal to operate in Canada, and our US government has actively set up a program to eliminate them from the market. An action Committee can be reached at 800-782-7431 for safe disposal. Ask about their $100.00 reward for removal of your old unit.

The pros of owning a new DIAMOND, EZ-FREEZE, DOMETIC, or CONSUL:

Propane refrigerators made since the 1980s, and currently are made to burn cleaner.

They emissions are only 20-30 PPM of Carbon Monoxide gas.

You should never worry about CO poisoning.

A new propane refrigerator usually does not need to be vented to the outside.

Gas Fridge would like to remind you that when incorporating your new Propane Refrigerator into your cabinets, be sure to allow proper ventilation with a vent in the floor towards the back. Also allow ventilation on the top of the refrigerator so that heat can escape the cooling system. Without adequate venting the unit could overheat.

Gas Fridge discusses your freezer off grid options.

gas fridge discusses your freezer off grid options.
Getting ready to live off grid?  If so, you basically have two options when it comes to freezers.  Gas powered or DC powered.  Both are produced with a high insulation value to create the best efficiency. Because a freezer must have power available at all times to keep the food storage at the proper temperature, the major consideration between a propane gas freezer and a DC electric freezer is the availability of the power source. 

If solar energy, wind energy, or hydro energy is available at your location, then a DC electric freezer initial cost will be low and this will be the best choice.  If none of these DC energy sources are available and you have to buy the equipment to produce electricity, then you’re looking at a much larger investment and propane is the way to go.

This is where the possibility of a gas freezer may be best. Gas Freezers can operate from stored LPG (Propane) gas or piped in Natural Gas.  Propane gas is supplied either by truck to a permanent tank on the property or smaller portable tanks that can be transported and filled at a filling site. Permanent tanks are available in a variety of sizes ranging from 100 gallons to over 1000 gallons. The freezer can operate from any size tank. The question is, for how long. It is typical for a propane freezer to use approximately 2 to 3 gallons of LPG per 7 days.

Needless to say, your location and power setup is going to be key in deciding which type of freezer to purchase.  Because technology has gotten so much better over the years, you can literally use propane to run your whole off grid home! 

Gas Fridge has many styles of propane appliances for you to choose from.  Please visit us at http://www.gas-fridge.com.  You can also call with questions at 928-636-6674.  Let Gas Fridge assist you in making a great decision with your propane appliances.

Gas Fridge talks about transporting and storing your Propane Refrigerator.

gas fridge talks about transporting and storing your propane refrigerator.
Did you just buy your new propane refrigerator?  Concerned about transporting it?  Believe it or not, transporting the unit is not as complicated as some might believe.  Because propane refrigerators are not built with the same components as an electric refrigerator, you can actually transport the refrigerator on its side if need be.  Laying a gas refrigerator on the side while transporting has no long term affects to the operation, performance, or lifespan of the unit.  Always make sure to use plenty of padding.

If you are putting your propane refrigerator in storage, Gas Fridge has some tips for you:


  • Remove any moisture from the interior to prevent mold buildup.
  • Put charcoal or old newspaper inside to absorb any moisture.
  • You can leave the doors open if there are no critters around.
  • Do not leave canned drinks inside as they might freeze and explode, causing damage.
  • Spray an insect repellent around the burner box to deter insects from nesting in the burner.
  • Always check your flame condition immediately after startup from storage period.  It should be a bright blue.

Gas Fridge gives some tips on how to set up your new Gas Refrigerator.
Congratulations on your new gas refrigerator!  Now is it time to set it up correctly.  Gas Fridge is here to help and has some tips for you to follow.


1.    Gas pressure must set correctly - Too high or too low of gas pressure may lead to poor performance or permanent damage to your gas refrigerator.

2.    Make sure the gas fridge is level - This is for both directions since the absorption system works from gravity, it is vital to the proper flow rate that the unit is level.

3.    Proper ventilation on all sides -  Minimum ventilation space around the gas fridge is usually 2" on the left and right sides, and 8" above with 2" at rear.

4.    Test for leaks - Use a solution of soapy water and brush around all gas connections before lighting the gas refrigerator.

5.    Turn on unit.

6.    Let refrigerator chill down – You will want to wait approximately 12 hours before loading it with food.

7.    Start with small portions - Load warm or room temperature foods in smaller portions a couple hours apart initially. 

8.    Let the unit stabilize -  Wait a few days before making adjustments to the thermostat. 

9.    Don’t overload -  Try not to put too much room temperature liquids such as large jugs of water.

10.    Load the freezer with ice trays or objects to be frozen prior to bed time - This way the unit will have all night to recover. We recommend using aluminum ice cube trays due to their ability to make ice much faster than their plastic counterparts.
