Default Re: Can You use the Freezer (in emergency) to cool hot apartment?

The thing is that fridges are actually very energy-inefficient. Not only does more heat comes out of the condensation coil, it also wastes the tremendous amount of energy due to the replacement of old-fashioned cooling agents with environmentally-friendly but less efficient ones.

I would say to just walk to the nearest store and stay there all day long. Hubby and I stay at a bookstore. We haven't had to buy any books or magazines this summer since we read them all in the bookstore.
