A SAVVY saver has shared the important reason why you need to get rid of all the extra ice in your freezer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It turns out all that extra ice could be costing you a fortune in energy bills.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The TikToker, called Gittermary, revealed she checks her freezer regularly for ice build up to save on energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said in a TikTok video online: \u201cDid you know that the ice in your freezer has a pretty big impact?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust two millilitres of ice increases your energy use by 20%\u201d<\/p>\n
This is because ice acts as an insulator which makes your freezer work harder, so it'll cost more to run.<\/p>\n
When Gittemary checked her freezer she has a lot of ice build up\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely had more than two millilitres of ice build up in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The savvy saver had to melt the ice to so that it would make it easier to remove.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cTo fix that I boiled a pot of water and stuck it in the freezer for 10 minutes before I started scraping away.\u201d<\/p>\n
