Excuse me if I think it's important. :/

and this is exactly why I am asking questions of all the smarty pants [] here. After we get our appliances replaced and the new VSP pump for the pool, and the solar hot water heater, then we are going to have the solar companies re-do their bids based on that electric usuage. They have been doing this week based on current needs and I kept trying to tell them not current, but FUTURE... so I gotta make the future happen, so I can get the then "current" usage.

Since we are starting from scratch on the fridge and have a couple of weeks to check them all out for energy savings and also ease of use I thought I would ask questions. I do appreciate all the input!

I ruled out the french door aspect because of the comments here and my hubby said NO... doesnt work well over time.

We are torn on the upstairs / downstairs freezer. No side by side.

and ice/water or no ice/water - maybe just ice is the deal.
