Sunfrost noise [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi All,

In regards to refrigerator efficiencys, you can check the california state
website
http://www.energy.ca.gov/efficiency/appliances/refrig-freezers/refrig-freezers.html

The Magic Chef models  CTL1511AEA  at 15 cu ft are using 1.2 kwh/day.  When I
worked at AEE, I did talk to a few installers Hawaii, other locations and they
measured it at the 1.2 kwh day.  Yep its more than the sunfrost, but they cost
$6-800, quite a bit cheaper than the Sunfrost.

I like to support Larry and I think he makes great units.  The worse your
climate the more cost effective the sunfrost is.

Thanks,

jay
