Our Phantom load was an older fridge we had in the garage for years used as a secondary during the harvest months for veggies,but we kept it on year round.It was convenient to have but after bringing her to the dump our electricity bill dropped almost 35 bucks a month.Also as the deer and frozen veggies dwindle we replace the space with water filled milk jugs,this saves huge as the freezer does not have to try so hard to keep things frozen and rarely runs a freeze cycle at all.report abuse
