    if you’re already heating your home, then what does it hurt to have the fridge do a bit more of that?

    in fact, the fridge is a tiny heat pump using your food as the reservoir. so unless your house is heat pump equipped, it is beneficial energy wise to keep the fridge inside.

    if your house is heat pump equipped, then it depends on how the efficiency compare. if you put lots of hot food into your fridge then you should definitely probably keep it inside.

    if you’re cooking on the stove but the fridge is next to you and pumping out lots of heat that heat may inadvertently make your food overcooked.

    the startup entrepreneurs have thought this through. give them some credit.
