    Oh, I see what you’re saying!

    That’s not quite how refrigerations works. The energy doesn’t “go into” doing the refrigeration; the energy you’re bringing in from the electrical grid is still in your home.

    In other words, if your fridge runs at 200 W, then your home is being heated at 200 W, plus whatever heat is being pulled from the inside of the fridge.
