Here’s What Smart Shoppers Always Ask (That Most People Forget)
A refrigerator is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home—yet most people buy one based only on looks or brand.
At Emcor, we’ve helped thousands of Filipino families, business owners, and condo-dwellers pick the right refrigerator for their needs—not just for today, but for the next 10+ years.
Whether you need something budget-friendly, energy-efficient, or big enough for bulk groceries, this guide will help you make a confident, regret-free choice.
Step 1: Know How Much Space You Really Have
Measure everything before browsing:
- 🟢 Width, height, and depth of your fridge space
- 🟢 Clearance for door swing
- 🟢 Entryways and hallways (for delivery!)
📏 Pro Tip: Leave at least 2 inches of ventilation space on the sides and top for proper airflow. Overheating shortens your fridge’s life.
Step 2: Choose the Right Refrigerator Type
| Type | Best For | Why Choose It |
| Single Door | Condos, dorms, tight budgets | Compact, affordable |
| Top Freezer | Small families, everyday use | Classic, reliable |
| Bottom Freezer | Easy access to fridge items | Less bending, stylish |
| Side-by-Side | Big families, businesses | Large capacity, organized storage |
| French Door | Modern homes, premium experience | Wide shelves, sleek design |
| Mini Fridge | Bedrooms, offices, hotel rooms | Space-saving, secondary use |
| Showcase Chiller | Sari-sari stores, food businesses | Product visibility, easy access |
🏠 Buying for home? Top or bottom freezer is ideal.
🏪 Buying for business? Showcase or side-by-side fits best.
Step 3: Check the Energy Label—This One’s Big
Electricity costs don’t lie. An inefficient fridge can quietly drain thousands of pesos per year.
Here’s what to look for:
- ✅ Inverter technology: Adjusts cooling automatically = major savings
- ✅ Energy Efficiency Factor (EEF): Higher = better efficiency
- ✅ Yellow energy label: Required in PH—always check it!
💸 With an inverter fridge, many Emcor customers save ₱5,000–₱10,000+ annually on electricity.
Step 4: Think About Interior Features That Matter
Not all shelves and drawers are created equal. Choose based on your real habits:
- Adjustable shelves = more space for party trays, lechon, etc.
- Separate veggie/fruit crisper = keeps produce fresher
- LED lighting = brighter, cooler, more efficient
- Anti-bacterial coating = better hygiene for families
- Fast freeze zones = perfect for bulk meat or ice cream
👀 Tip: Check the freezer-to-fridge ratio—if you store more meat, go for larger freezer space.
Step 5: Where You Buy It Really Matters
Don’t risk:
- ❌ Missing parts
- ❌ No warranty support
- ❌ Poor delivery and no installation help
When you buy your refrigerator from Emcor, you get:
✅ Flexible payment plans
✅ Free delivery (selected areas)
✅ Installation guidance
✅ Support even after the sale
📦 You’re not just buying a fridge—you’re buying service, protection, and peace of mind.
