Would you install this fridge in your home?
The installation requires digging a hole approximately 2.5 x 2.5 meters wide, and 2.2 meters deep, and the fridge weighs about 300 kg (661 pounds). 👇
An underground fridge, also known as a Groundfridge, can cost around $10,000 and up. The price depends on the model and whether it includes shelves, ventilation, and light.
Cost:
The Plain model costs around $12,799, and the Complete model costs around $14,999.
The price doesn't include installation, which you'll need to arrange yourself.
What's included:
The Complete model comes with shelves, ventilation, and light.
The Plain model doesn't contain these features.
How it works:
The Groundfridge uses the insulating effect of the ground and the cooling effect of groundwater.
The temperature inside remains stable between 10 and 12°C throughout the year.
What it's good for:
It's ideal for storing fruits, vegetables, wine, cheese, and more.
It's a modern take on the traditional root cellar.
Additional considerations:
You'll need somewhere to bury it, and something to dig the hole.
You should check with your local council to make sure you don't need a permit.
