Choosing an Integrated Fridge Freezer
|

|
|

|
||||||
|

Capacity

Integrated models are more sought-after than freestanding models. These appliances do an excellent job of disappearing from sight behind cabinet doors, resulting in an uncluttered and sleek appearance that is very appealing in many kitchen designs. This makes them an excellent option for those looking to give your kitchen a makeover or are creating it from scratch. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, they offer plenty of storage space, so you can keep all your food and beverages easily within reach.

When you're choosing a fridge freezer with an integrated design, there are a few aspects to take into consideration. You'll first want to take into account the capacity of the appliance. Fridge and freezer storage is usually measured in litres, therefore it is crucial to determine how much you'll need prior to making a purchase. You'll need to select one with a large enough capacity to meet your needs, but one that won't be too large, so you don't waste energy or end up bursting.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Depending on the size of your family is, you may think about a larger capacity appliance. A 350-litre capacity is perfect for most families, and can accommodate up to 19 grocery bags. Some manufacturers have integrated fridge freezers that come with a 420 litre capacity which is ideal for families with more than one child.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The quality of the appliance is crucial. Less expensive models may not have the same longevity as their higher-end counterparts. Hinges can be a problem as they tend to be less durable. You'll want to choose a model with reliable Hettich or Ingol hinges that last for years to come.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are replacing an integrated fridge freezer that is no longer working Choose a model that is similar in size and split type. You'll need to make sure that the doors of your cabinets in your kitchen are wide enough to accommodate the new fridge freezer and that the freezer and fridge are the same height - usually 178cm. If you're planning to build your kitchen from scratch, make sure your plans align with these dimensions so you can find an integrated fridge freezer that is suitable for.

Design
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Refrigerators with integrated freezers are designed to fit seamlessly into your fitted cabinets without ruining the aesthetic you've worked so hard to achieve. Combining a fridge and freezer in one unit is an ideal option for those looking to maximize their space.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Depending on the manufacturer, integrated refrigerator freezers are available in different styles to suit different interior designs. From fully clad models that conceal the doors in your cabinets to panels that let you create your own unique design, there's something for all.

|
|
||||||
|
Fully integrated fridge [Fridges freezers](https://www.frydge.uk/) come with brackets for cabinet mounting that attach the appliance to the front of your kitchen cabinets, hiding it completely. This design allows you to customise your integrated fridge freezer to match your fitted kitchen while reducing noise and enhancing temperature control.

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Door sizes for integrated fridge freezers differ as well. You can find a "midi' model that is around 130cm in height, while tall models tend to be around 170-180cm. You can also pick between 50:50 splits, that gives you equally sized fridge and freezer storage, or 60/40 or 70/30 splits in favor of more fridge space.

|
Because integrated fridge freezers are built into your kitchen they are less accessible than freestanding refrigerators, which may make it more costly to have them repaired or maintained. However, this doesn't necessarily mean you should steer clear of buying a fridge freezer with integrated features when your budget isn't as tight as you can still find a wide selection of top-quality models at affordable prices.

The cost of the cabinet which houses the integrated fridge freezers is higher than the freestanding counterparts. They also make use of larger motors to keep the fridge cool, which could result in higher energy costs. That said, if you select a fridge with advanced food preservation technology It's possible to save money over the long term by wasting less food and lowering the energy use. This can add up to huge savings over the life of your integrated fridge freezer.

Energy efficiency
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fridge freezers are among the most frequently used appliances in your kitchen, so it's important to choose one with a good energy rating. A fridge freezer that is rated high will consume less energy than a lower-rated one and, over time, this will reduce the cost of energy. Look for the 'Energy Label', that is typically found on the back or user guide of the fridge-freezer. You can find the energy rating and consumption by hovering your phone over the label. Click through to the manufacturer's site to see the entire information.

|
||||||
|
The amount of food you store in your fridge-freezer will influence the amount of energy it consumes. Larger models with greater capacity will naturally require more energy to cool than smaller ones, even if they have an A++ rating. So, if you're replacing an older model, think carefully about how much capacity you need and then check the interior configuration - whether shelves are adjustable and doors for storage, and whether they can handle larger items such as milk bottles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A frost-free fridge freezer is another option worth considering. Frost-free refrigerator freezers incorporate an element of heating to stop the formation of ice inside the freezer. This saves you the trouble of having to defrost your fridge each and every now and then. Some models do not have this feature. If you have to defrost your fridge, keep this in mind.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's also worth checking the ease of cleaning and maintaining your fridge freezer. Most integrated fridge-freezers have shelves and drawers made of glass that are easy to clean. Certain models feature LED lighting as well, which is a nice feature.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Typically refrigerator freezers that are integrated are more expensive than freestanding equivalents. This is because you need to purchase refrigerator housing cabinets and doors for the kitchen cabinet, and there's the expense of installing. It's important to understand that fridge freezers with integrated refrigeration are more prone to issues than those that are freestanding. This is due to the fact that installers might not have the cabinets installed correctly or may leave out vital ventilation. This can result in hot air leaking into the freezers and causing them overheat.

Convenience

A fridge freezer integrated into the refrigerator is an option for those looking to create a sleek look in their kitchen, while blending seamlessly with their kitchen cabinetry. These models are hidden behind the cabinet doors and blend in seamlessly with the kitchen cabinetry. This is a popular choice for those who wish to achieve a contemporary aesthetic. A refrigerator and freezer can be combined in a single model, which makes it easier to store food items and organise it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The downside of an integrated fridge freezer is that it could be more difficult to service than a freestanding model because it's integrated into your furniture, and taking the door from its hinges to access the appliance could be quite difficult for most kitchen engineers. It's important to remember that you may require your fridge freezer repaired or serviced in the near future, or if your plan is to sell your house and relocate.

|
|
||||||
|
If you are replacing an integrated fridge freezer it is crucial to purchase a similar appliance to ensure that the doors on your cabinet will be able to fit. This is because integrated refrigerator freezers are of standard size and will fit in the 60cm by 60cm size of the housing cabinet. Therefore, any doors you have installed on your existing cabinets must be compatible. Check the type of hinge on your fridge freezer, whether it's a sliding or fixed hinge. This will determine the ease to open the doors of your cupboard.
