Gas Fridge shares reasons to own a gas refrigerator

Cold food storage is necessary for healthy living and survival. From the old ice boxes to today’s modern appliances, refrigerators have come a long way. They not only come in different shapes, sizes, and colors, but they are powered by different energy sources as well. Gas Fridge shares some of the reasons to own a gas-powered refrigerator.

You don’t have on-grid electricity. Gas fridges are a great option if your home or vacation home is not connected to a local electric utility. The EZ Freeze refrigerator runs on natural gas or propane. Propane is portable, can be stored, and has an unlimited shelf life when stored in a properly sealed container.

An electric refrigerator makes too much noise. Electric refrigerators have lots of moving parts: compressors, fans, and motors, all working together to keep your food at the desired temperature. Unfortunately, moving parts means potential for mechanical failure. Gas fridges have no moving parts, making them quiet and dependable.

You experience more natural disasters or power outages. When electricity goes off, all the food in your refrigerator and freezer are at risk. Losing a refrigerator full of food and/or medicines due to a power outage would be an expensive situation, and a potential threat to your health and survival. Having a gas fridge as a backup unit is one way to avoid that risk.

You are sensitive to EMF (electromagnetic field) emissions. There are a number of people who experience symptoms that they attribute to EMF exposure. Limiting the number of appliances and devices in your home that run on electricity can decrease EMF exposure. A non-electric refrigerator does not give off EMFs.

A gas-powered refrigerator gets as cold or colder than its electric counterpart and can use either natural gas or propane. With no moving parts, no EMFs, and no need for electricity, a gas fridge may be the perfect solution for you. For more information, Contact Gas Fridge today at 928-636-6674.

Gas Fridge explains what gas refrigerators are and the fuels they use

When you hear the term “gas-powered refrigerator,” it is just that, a refrigerator that is cooled using either natural gas or propane rather than electricity. Refrigerators that are powered by gas can be used in household, RV, and commercial uses. Propane is commonly used since it is easy to handle and portable. Gas Fridge specializes in gas refrigerators that can be fueled by either natural gas or propane.

Household-style gas refrigerators are designed to operate without electricity. You will often find these models in “off the grid” homes or homes without electric service. These models are more simple in design, as compared to the electric-powered refrigerators. One advantage of the simple operation is maintenance costs are kept at a minimum. 

If the gas refrigerator is needed for household use, it is best to purchase a refrigerator with the capacity to hold several days’ worth of food, rather than a salvaged RV model with a capacity for only a two- or three-day supply.

If you are fortunate enough to have an on-property gas well, you are getting as close to free utilities as you can by using a gas refrigerator. An EZ Freeze Refrigerator is completely non-electric requiring only propane or natural gas to operate.

Gas-Fridge Suggests Spring Cleaning Tips For Your Propane Appliances

Most homeowners have their furnace and air conditioner systems checked in the spring and fall to make sure they are operating properly and efficiently. Your propane appliances also should be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to operate at maximum efficiency. Gas-Fridge would like to offer a few tips to help with your spring cleaning efforts:

Safety: Make sure that the area within 10 feet of your propane tank and/or cylinder(s) is free of clutter. Remove any combustible materials, such as long, dry grass, wood, and debris.
Do not store propane cylinders or tanks indoors.
If you plan to add some plants or trees to your yard this spring, call 811 to have your utility lines marked before you start to dig to plant spring flowers, new trees, or for any other reason.

Cleaning Inside: Proper cleanliness is important, especially on the inside of the refrigerator. Spring might be a convenient time for cleaning your refrigerator is during the regular maintenance or right after defrosting. Cleaning both inside and outside should always be done with a soft cloth and mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse the inside with a baking soda and warm water mixture of approx 1-2 tbsp. to 1 qt. warm water. Then wipe dry with soft cloth. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners and never use coarse clothes for cleaning.

Cleaning Outside: Waxing the outside of the refrigerator box may prevent against minor scratches and add to rust protection. Just 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: This will help with the units overall efficiency and 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 below. Keeping the area around and under the refrigerator clean will help prevent debris from being sucked into the burner tube. This is the most common problem with propane powered refrigerators not operating correctly.

Defrosting: The easiest way to defrost the refrigerator compartment is to do it overnight without turning it off. Simply turn the thermostat to minimum in the late evening and the ice should dislodged by morning. Using a plastic ice scraper on the fins at the rear of the refrigerator compartment can help with the thicker pieces of ice. Place a cookie sheet or towel under the fins to catch the ice. Never use a metal scraper or ice pick. Reset the thermostat to the original setting. The defrosted water from the refrigerator compartment will drain down the drain tube into the catch pan under the rear of the unit. It will eventually evaporate without harm, or it can be removed with a sponge.

Your gas refrigerator is now ready to continue giving you long years of service with just a little attention. If you haven’t yet made the move to propane refrigeration, why not give the experts at Gas-Fridge a call and learn more about propane refrigeration and maintenance needs for your propane appliance.
