Important Things to Know Before Buying a New Fridge
The most used and appreciated appliance in the home is the fridge. It is almost impossible to function without one and, as it will be used for years to come, the challenge is to find a refrigerator that suits your changing lifestyle.
Kitchen Space, Budget and Fridge size
How much room do you have?
With a tape measure, find the width, depth and height of the space where the fridge will be placed. Remember to leave 25 mm of free space around the top, back and sides to allow for the heat produced during refrigeration to escape.
Be sure to also measure clearance (entryways, doorways etc.) to ensure that when your fridge is delivered it will fit safely into the home, and your old fridge can be safely removed.
Hinges and reversible doors
You also need to take into account which way your fridge door will open as cabinetry and walls can stop the doors from properly opening.
– For left hinged fridges, the hinges are on the left-hand side of the door when facing the unit, with the door opening from the right-hand side.
– For right hinged fridges, the hinges are on the right-hand side of the door when facing the unit, with the door opening from the left-hand side.
Some fridges come with reversible doors meaning that the door can be hinged on either the right or the left, whichever suits your space best. Some models will require a special hinge-reversing kit so be sure to check the specifications. Reversible doors are particularly handy in kitchens with limited space.
