My Fridge like very small. 225L cannot put many things
Just look inside the compartment will do. Fridge shld not take up too much space for small kitchen

Got chilled, frozen, ice and egg tray .
The sharp 2 door is sufficient

Groceries buy weekly

no, windows film not as good as double glazed or triple glazed windows


let say u have double glazed windows. the heat outside will not be able to heat up from the windows due to double glazed windows, if HDB also Insulated their wall then firstly:

AC runs less often
Indoor temperature stays stable
Lower humidity swings
Less wall heat “radiating back” into the room at night

say u on AC and switch off say 10am, by 6 pm your home will not be warm, it will still feel cool thanks to double glazed and Insulated wall


too bad HDB cannot make it.

heat will still transfer via double glazed but at slower rate.

window film works, can reflect up to 90% of the heat..... However, the frame will also transfer heat to indoor.
i got this idea from full window office or those non aircon full window warehouse.

this is another tip for u.... if ur room is hot.... i will open window...and let it cool down before turning on aircon. this will help to save some electricity.....
