Not so negligible! If your fridge draws, say, 1500 W while it’s running, then it releases 1500 W of heat into your living space PLUS the heat it’s removing from its interior. That’s pretty substantial while it’s running! But hopefully it’s not running full-tilt 24 hours per day lol
That would be one hell of a fridge if it did! But my number was meant as an illustration of how the math works, not necessarily accurate to any specific refrigeration device.
That’s… Kind of what it already does though. It’s just that it’s not cooling the inside enough to heat very much of your house.
Why did I have to scroll to the bottom to find this? Like, where did you think the removed heat was going otherwise???
Heat is stored in the microwave.
The heat is moved outside the environment
The heat also came from that environment in the first place. So a fridge doesn’t actually heat up a house (ignoring the negligible losses)

A fridge definitely doesn’t draw 1500 W continuously. You might be thinking of the start-up surge power draw
My double-door draws 300 W while the compressor is running (average power is obviously a lot less than that)

Wow, I wooshed myself even harder than they to whomst I was replying. Good job me.
HVAC is just the Patrick star push the city meme with heat
