Gas Refrigerators are a great option for almost any home - Gas Fridge explains why

Whether you are from the snowy mountains of the Yukon or the deserts of Arizona, or a place
with expensive electricity costs, refrigeration is a necessary but potentially difficult (and costly)
task. You need to keep your food cold, but generators and solar panels can cost thousands of
Gas Refrigerators are a great option for almost any homedollars and are reliant on daylight and gasoline respectively. Don’t you wish there was a better
alternative? Well… There is one! Gas Fridge, one of the largest Gas Refrigerator distributors in
all of the United States, is here to tell you about how a Propane or LP gas fridge can help you in
your food refrigeration woes.


Gas Refrigerators are used by many full-time homeowners as well as those who own off-the-

grid properties, like hunting cabins or weekend getaways, or any other type of faraway place.
Plus, with electricity prices rising in some areas of the United States, it’s becoming more and
more convenient to use alternative energy sources like solar panels. That alone is a great
reason why a gas fridge could be perfect for someone who lives in the suburb as well as
someone who lives in the wilderness. By getting a refrigerator that runs on LP gas, you can
actually circumvent high power bills, as an average propane refrigerator costs less that 75 cents
per day to run. That's only $275 per year! Plus, no matter where you are, a propane refrigerator
can meet the needs of nearly any individual, regardless of where his or her home is located.

As for off-the- grid customers or those in a similar area where electricity can be hard to access,
gas refrigerators are a wonderful option for ease and cost. We have personally heard stories of
how the logistics of getting gas to a remote site makes for an interesting journey; one particular
story is how a man got tired of cutting and transporting large ice cubes from a glacier to an
icebox using an ATV. Imagine the difference this individual experience when this individual no
longer had to ride 25 miles out of his way to get “fuel” for his refrigerator. No matter who you are
or what your means are, transporting a propane container (or multiple) can be easy and more
affordable than an electric equivalent. Whether by car, boat, ATV or helicopter, propane is light,
clean burning, and efficient.

The amount of propane storage can greatly vary from 5 gallons to almost 500 gallons propane
storage for more permanent or year-round locations. The possibilities and options with propane
are endless. Plus, if you live in the wilderness to get away from all the noise of the city, you’ll be
happy to know that propane refrigerators are entirely silent -- with only the sound of a small
propane flame backing the powerful refrigerator. Compare the amount of sound a propane
refrigerator makes to that of a gas burner on a stove -- only audible from less than 5 feet away.
The final kicker is that if you are lucky enough to have a natural gas well on your property, you
can refrigerate for free. What a deal!

From the cost saving benefits, to the ease of transportation and use, and the many different
shapes, sizes, and styles that they come in, there isn’t really a reason to not get a gas
refrigerator. Call Gas Fridge today to learn more about how a gas refrigerator can help you with
your food refrigeration needs. We can be reach us at 928-636- 6674 or visit our website at

Gas Fridge explains why you should consider a gas refrigerator even if you don't live off-the-grid

When living where electricity is expensive or unavailable, a propane refrigerator is a great choice for keeping your food fresh and cold. It requires minimal upkeep and costs less to keep running well. Gas Fridge, a major online retailer of propane and LP gas refrigerators and freezers, would like to give you some reasons to consider a gas refrigerator for your off-the-grid home.

Gas Fridge explains why you should consider a gas refrigerator even if you don't live off-the-gridWith most area’s propane costs hitting right around $2 per gallon, a refrigerator will cost around $0.75 a day to run, with that price dropping even more in colder climates. With a standard #20 propane tank, you’re looking at around 20 days of use. That sure beats lugging around a huge cooler and ice pack, both in cooling performance and in ease of use. Plus, trucking in propane is a lot easier and cheaper than paying for a dedicated electrical line or using batteries.

The initial cost of purchasing a propane or LP gas fridge is quite a bit higher than an electric equivalent, but comparing the two isn’t exactly fair. An electric fridge runs on Freon and a compressor pump, whereas a propane fridge is powered using a heated gas mixture that circulates and cools. No electric lines power the fridge whatsoever. Comparing these two would be like comparing a solar power and wind power - they both meet the same ends, b
ut do it in completely different ways.

Most people may think that using a gas fridge is just for places that don't get electricity, but that isn't the case. Living in town doesn’t mean that a gas refrigerator doesn't still have its benefits. We still would argue that a gas fridge is more cost effective over the course of 20 years than a traditional electric fridge, simply because you’ll be hard pressed to find a fridge that will work flawlessly for 20 years for less than a propane fridge. Propane refrigerators use no moving parts, meaning that there is very little to actually wear out. No compressor unit to go bad, no batteries to change, etc. Plus, the electricity might end up costing more in the long run as well.

As you can tell, there are a lot of good reasons to use a propane powered refrigerator. They’re cheaper, last longer, and cool better. If it sounds like you could use a propane refrigerator or would like more information, you can call Gas Fridge at 928-636-6674 or visit our website at http://www.gas-fridge.com.

Gas Fridge explains some of the differences between older and modern gas refrigerators

Gas Fridge, your leading online retailer for off the LP gas refrigerators, is here to explain some of the changes that have been made from some of the first propane refrigerators. We’ve come a long way when it comes to gas cooling, and it will be very apparent after reading through this article. The most common type of old-school refrigerator was the SERVEL brand refrigerator, so all our comparisons will be made with that particular brand.

Efficiency - Old gas refrigerators used A LOT of propane - upwards of ¾ a gallon per day, whereas modern refrigerators use around a ¼ to ⅓ a gallon a day. This was due to the design of the absorption system not being as thermally efficient as it could be. Modern day systems are engineered to be incredibly efficient and can run for a long time while using minimal fuel. This change in fuel efficiency happened right around 1970, though improvements continue to happen over time.

Venting - The older SERVELs would have very large burners that were very inefficient with the way they burned their fuel. This would lead both to higher fuel usage and dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) buildup. Some of the worst offenders (pre 1950s) were measured to emit up to 1500 parts per million (PPM) of CO gas in very short amounts of time. In a 10 to 20-foot room, 300-400 PPM is considered dangerous and will begin to cause detrimental health effects. New fridges, however, are significantly more clean-burning due to their decreased fuel usage and increased airflow. Post 1980’s fridges, on average, will emit around 20-30 PPM, which is well below the recommended amount from appliances in a residential area. At this rate, no one should ever need to worry about CO poisoning with a modern-day propane refrigerator.

Legality - The inconvenience of having to vent an old SERVEL brand fridge could very well be enough of a reason alone to want to purchase a new EZ FREEZE refrigeration. And, if you live in Canada, it might not be a good idea to purchase a SERVEL that is pre- 1980, as it is completely illegal. In the United States, there is often a $100 disposal cost involved with these old machines too. While many people love these old fridges because they have lasted for 70+ years, they are a danger to yourself and others and should be dealt with by calling SERVAL action committee and 1-800-782-7431

If you have an old SERVEL brand gas fridge, it is time to think about getting a replacement. Modern fridges are more efficient, fast to cool your food, cheaper, lighter, and safer too.

Understanding what an Absorption Refrigerator is, and why should choose Gas Fridge for your next EZ Freeze Refrigerator

Gas Fridge explains how absorption refigerators workWhat is an Absorption Refrigerator? It’s a lot simpler than you might expect. Gas Fridge is here to tell you all about Absorption Refrigerators and how to make an informed purchase when shopping for off the grid refrigerators.

What exactly is an Absorption Refrigerator? In an Absorption Refrigerator, the unit refrigerates itself by moving the hot air inside to the outside of the fridge. This process uses a sealed system containing a solution mixture of ammonia, water, sodium chromate, and hydrogen that is boiled by heat. The ammonia in the system is the main driving component, causing the change from liquid to gas, and back again. This pure ammonia liquid conducts heat away from the unity using aluminum plates on the back of the fridge. This system uses no moving parts at all and is accomplished using a combination of thermodynamics and the physical properties of gases.

The system is very specific in design, meaning a slight change in piping angle can lower performance and efficiency. A small solution ingredient difference will also change the gas refrigerator performance, as well as any weak welds will shorten the fridge’s life. Strict quality control is vital toward good production results. That’s why, at Gas Fridge ou

We rate the EZ Freeze quality control as the best in the industry. EZ Freeze is the only company that produces the entire product in-house, from start to finish. EZ Freeze spends over half their time in quality control checks to make sure their product is the best it can be. And, the EZ Freeze absorption units are interchangeable at any time with a new unit, meaning that repairs are easy and cheap. When we asked about why EZ Freeze has such strict quality control measures, we weren't surprised with the answer: "We realize that most of our fridges are used in remote areas. Hard to get to and from areas. It puts a great hardship on the consumer if there is a failure and we just don't want to see that happen."

As you can tell, we choose EZ Freeze for a reason. Their attention to quality is unmatchable and their products are easily repairable when something does go wrong. So, when you begin to look for a new Absorption Refrigerator, make sure that you call Gas Fridge at either 928-636-6674 or by visiting our website at http://www.gas-fridge.com
r many years of experience in using and servicing gas fridges and freezers, we choose the EZ Freeze brand.

Adjusting the Temperature of Propane Gas Refrigerators - Gas Fridge

The off grid refrigerator has a wide range of ambient temperatures. Gas Fridge can assist you with proper internal temperature settings.
Most propane gas refrigerators end up in remote locations. Off-grid owners have more of a vested interest in keeping the refrigerator operating efficiently. Propane is usually trucked to the location or hand carried. Most rural off grid homes, cabins, and cottages don’t have automatic climate control. The off grid refrigerator is subject to a wider range of ambient temperatures during the day and during the seasonal changes. Gas Fridge has a few sets of instructions for adjusting the thermometer to help you economize your power usage.

Gas refrigerators are all manually temperature controlled (no digital thermostats or electronics).

Using the Fridge for the weekend only:
•    Allow 12 hours of chill down time for your gas fridge, if empty at 70°-80° room temperature.
•    Keep the door closed as much as possible – it’s tempting to look inside; at least know what you need before opening the door. Temperatures inside the fridge won’t fluctuate as often and your fridge will run more efficiently.
•    Don’t load the fridge with any food or liquids that are not already cold or frozen.
•    Set the temperature setting to maximum. If possible, set the thermostat to maximum and replenish the ice trays or drinks at night right before bedtime.
•    Now that the fridge is chilled down, load the groceries in smaller amounts at timed intervals (10 lb / 2 hours). Recovery times increase by three times, if all loaded items are not cold or frozen.
•    If all your items are cold or frozen, it’s okay to load all of them at once.
•    Liquid is more dense and takes longer to chill. 4 individual quarts of liquid chill faster than a one gallon container with liquid.
•    If you’re having extra guests or a party at the cabin, rely on an ice chest for cold drinks – this reduces the traffic to the fridge, keeps the door closed, and helps to keep the perishable items cold.

Using the fridge full-time:

•    Allow 12 hours of chill down time for your gas fridge, if empty at 70°-80° room temperature.
•    Keep the door closed as much as possible – it’s tempting to look inside; at least know what you need before opening the door. Temperatures inside the fridge won’t fluctuate and your fridge will run more efficiently.
•    Load the groceries in smaller amounts at timed intervals (10 lb / 2 hours).
•    Keep track of the refrigerators interior temperatures – the setting will affect the refrigerator compartment temperatures. (There is no setting for the freezer.)
•    The thermostat for the home type refrigerators is located at the bottom of the cabinet on the outside front, near or behind the kick plate.
•    If possible install a remote digital thermometer. This allows you to monitor inside temperatures without opening the door and it also has an alarm in case the gas supply suddenly stops working.

Stabilizing the temperature:

•    Start at the maximum setting.
•    Take a true reading first thing in the morning before the door is opened.
•    When the reading reaches 32°, slightly move the dial toward the minimum setting, 1/12 of a turn.
•    Ideally the temperature should be 34° - 38°.

Seasonal Changes and humidity levels will have an affect on demand and will produce more frost on the cooling fins. Food mass or a full fridge will keep the temperature more stable compared to an empty fridge with more air mass. Cold air from a fairly empty fridge will simply fall to the floor.

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/

Did You Know that Gas Fridge Services and Repairs RV Refrigerators?

Gas Fridge is here to service, repair, or replace your RV gas fridge in Prescott Arizona.
A non-functioning refrigerator in a recreational vehicle can be problematic. When the refrigerator is down, the RV becomes useless by limiting the ability to travel away from civilization and be self reliant. There are many engine mechanics that can get you and your RV back on the road. There aren’t many RV Refrigerator Repairers that can properly repair your fridge and get you back to your way of life. Gas-Fridge can assist you with maintenance or repairs.
   
Until now, we haven’t advertised this service. We repair refrigerators for local folks as well as vacationers from out of town.  Many times the repair can be as simple as a fouled burner or as complicated as a leaking absorption cooling unit.

Most RV Refrigerators will fail early from the wear life of the unit and the wear life of the vehicle. The fridge might look brand new but will only need service or a repair. RVs travel a lot, leaving the fridge exposed to the elements, and it the will typically need more service than one that is static and in a home. The debris, dirt, road grime, and weather is hard on the burner and controls that are exposed to these elements.

An RV will go through periodic use, and since the fridge is turned on for short periods of time and then turned off for longer periods of time. Condensation develops as a result of this activity and will eventually corrode the cooling bars and cause a leak within the sealed absorption system. Boilers may crack from the constant heating and cooling of these metals. This is becoming more common with newer models. The electronic ignition will turn the flame on and off to control the internal temperatures of the refrigerator and freezer. Older models relied on a continuous flame that switched from high to low.

This would keep the boiler metals from flexing to a state where a crack would develop. We replace these absorption cooling units with either re-manufactured rebuilt cooling units or newly redesigned high performance cooling units.

For the larger model refrigerators, we can replace the cooling unit without removing the refrigerator from inside of the RV coach. Sometimes we replace the cooling when the customer removes a smaller refrigerator and drops it off. We also have the ability to ship the cooling unit directly to you so that you can do the replacement yourself. We have many options to accommodate you and your schedule.

Our maintenance service consists of cleaning the flue, burner, and orifice and is included in any repair or service we perform. This is an important service that most RV owners never perform and is the cause of the majority of the issues we find. We also replace control boards (if available), Igniters, and heat rods for those units that have failed electronics.

At Gas-Fridge, we can evaluate your RV refrigerator and give an estimate of repair and options for the specific problem. Visit us at http://gas-fridge.com/ for more information, and to find directions to our facility, or just give us a call at 928-636-6674.

Propane Refrigerator Transporting and Storage - Gas Fridge



Congratulations! Either you bought a new home, or you just purchased a brand new propane refrigerator. Your baby, whether it's brand new, or you're re-locating, transporting the unit is not as complicated as you might believe. The gas refrigerator or gas freezer is not the same as your ordinary GE (General Electric). Before you strap your beloved fridge to the dolly, Gas-Fridge would like to go over a few facts. Moving a gas – or propane refrigerator is not as complicated as you may think. Here are few simple rules to follow.

See the experts at Gas-Fridge for propane refrigerators and off-grid living.The gas refrigerator or gas freezer is not built with the same components as an electric refrigerator. It's okay to tip, or lay the fridge on one side. Keeping it upright, no matter what, does not apply to the gas fridge. Transporting your propane refrigerator on its side has no long term affects to the operation, performance, or lifespan.  Laying the gas fridge on the back or even the front door is not out of the question but if you have a choice, however, we suggest the side to the left. Look to the left of the refrigerator, and lay it with the door's opening toward the floor.

Here's why: 
1) With some brands, the solution within the sealed absorption system may get trapped in the wrong location. This limits or blocks the circulation of fluids during operation. A burping procedure must be used to free the “Lock” or “Blockage”. It's a simple process: Burping Your Propane Refrigerator. There are some exceptions, and for some brands, laying the left side down keeps the fluid where it needs to be. When standing the fridge back upright again, a “Lock” or Blockage” is less likely. The EZ Freeze brand is not susceptible to this type of “Lock” or “Blockage”.  2) The side of the fridge is a flat surface and will hold up better during transportation and is less prone to damage compared to the front or back. We suggest extra padding to avoid damage to the thin sheet metal cabinet.

Prolong the life of your gas refrigerator by following these simple steps:
It's okay to store a gas refrigerator while not in use with some basic care. Whether it's long term, or short term storage, a gas fridge stored while not in use will not have a short or long term affect. 1) Remove any moisture from the interior to prevent mold buildup. 2) Put some charcoal inside the refrigerator, or freezer to help absorb moisture, and avoid odor. An old newspaper will work, too. Leaving the door open may work, but for safety reasons is not recommended. Small children or animals may find their way inside.
Storing your propane fridge in freezing climates will not harm the unit. Remember to remove canned drinks. They will explode and will damage the interior – even with the door closed.

Keep insects away! S
pray an insect repellent around the burner box to deter insects such as spiders from nesting in the burner. An insect nest in the burner will cause performance issues and possibly a danger upon startup.
When it's time to put your gas fridge back to use, check your flame condition immediately after startup. The flame should be a bright blue at the base and have a clear tip with no yellow or white color. This clear tip is usually at the very top of the flame located up inside the flue exhaust. Use a mirror at the floor facing upwards to inspect it. If a yellow or white tip is present, maintenance is required.  
Gas-Fridge would like to remind you to use caution, check your owners manual before moving your propane refrigerator, and avoid possible injury, or damage to the unit. Visit us online to see our selection of gas refrigerators at http://gas-fridge.com/ or call 928-636-6674

Gas Fridge explains proper ventilation for your propane refrigerator.



In order to allow for proper air circulation and allow the gas fridge to breathe, there are a few rules to follow when designing the gas refrigerator space.  Allowing for ample clearance around the unit is usually enough to allow proper air circulation.  If air circulation is limited, there could be long term damage.  Gas Fridge explains proper ventilation for your propane refrigerator:


Gas Fridge explains proper ventilation for your propane refrigerator.




Figure 1 – Best case
We describe this as best case since there are no structures (cabinets, shelves, etc…)  above  to obstruct the heat from rising out from the rear of the unit and also with at least one side being completely open, there is no need for further ventilation. 

Figure 2 – Limited top vent
A limited air escape at the top rear of the unit must be addressed with a vent to allow the hot air to rise up and escape. Trapping the hot air behind the unit will cause poor performance and long term damage.

Figure 3 – Boxed in. Worst case
The built-in type of construction is worst case scenario and is not recommended without proper ventilation. Some manufactures will void warranty for this type of install and no or limited venting.


Keep the absorption coils and fins clean from dirt and debris to allow for better heat transfer. Never set anything on top of the refrigerator the covers or partially covers the cooling fins.

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 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.
