Question 1

I don't have a chest or standup freezer. How much do they cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a new freezer will range from $200-$1000 depending on the size you need. Any appliance store would sell them. Used freezers are also available on Kijiji and Facebook and are usually 50% less expensive than a new one. We do not recommend purchasing a freezer older than 10 years old. Modern freezers are much more energy efficient.

Question 2

Chest vs. Standup freezers

Accepted Answer

Chest freezers (horizontal) are more storage efficient and use less energy than stand up freezers. Standup freezer's however take up less floor space and are easier to organize your favourite cuts of meat.   Tips: - Buy the biggest freezer your have space for - remember that half a pig or a quarter of a beef each take up approximately 5 cubic feet

Question 3

Is it expensive to run a freezer year round?

Accepted Answer

No! Given the high energy efficiency of modern freezers it costs between $2-5* per month to operate a 5-25 cubic feet deep freezer. For the same price as a cup of coffee, you cna have an entire year's worth of food  stored at home!    * based on current capped rate of electricity of 6.8 cents per kWh
