You will need to measure the height, depth, width and distance to nearby obstructions in order to determine the available installation space. Make sure there is adequate room for you to open the refrigerator door completely and at least one inch clearance around the unit to ensure sufficient air flow.
Energy Efficiency
When you are buying new refrigerator, make sure you look to see if the appliance has an energy star rating. Energy efficiency is “using less energy to provide the same service
Family size
If the space is small and your family is large, you will still need a bigger refrigerator. In situations like this, you will need to find some other spot in the house to place the unit. Just ensure that the fridge is appropriately sized for your family’s needs. If you choose a fridge that is too small, the unit may end up being overworked. If the unit is too large, then you will waste valuable home space and energy. If you would rather shop for groceries once a week, then you will need a fridge with a higher storage capacity.

Determine What Refrigerator Style or Model you prefer. There are different types of refrigerator models available. They include:
- Side by Side
- Top-mount Freezer
- Bottom-mount Freezer
- Single Door Refrigerator

- Bottle Coolers (also known as Beverage Coolers)
Side by Side
Side by Side double door configurations offer the convenience of fully accessible upper fridge compartment above a spacious pull-out drawer freezer. This storage area of the unit accommodates oversized items and helps lovers of fresh fruit and veggies as no bending is required to reach the produce drawers.
Top mount Freezers
These are refrigerator units with the freezer on top. One major selling point of top-mounted freezers is that they accommodate large items such as birthday cakes, pizzas etc.
Bottom-mount Freezer
These are refrigerator units with the freezer on the bottom. This type of refrigerator unit spares consumers the stress of bending down so often since most people tend to use the fridge section more often than they use the freezer section. The freezers of bottom-mount freezer models have various designs such as shelving or slide-out drawer.
Single Door Refrigerator
Single door fridges have just one external door leading to both the freezer and refrigerator section. For this model, the freezer compartment typically has a small internal door in order to preserve its temperature.
Double Door Refrigerator
These refrigerator models have separate external doors that lead to the freezer and fridge compartments. This style is particularly useful when there is a need to preserve the temperature of the freezer compartment. This way, the regular opening of the unit will not affect the freezer temperature.
Bottle Coolers
Bottle coolers (also called “Beverage Coolers”) are display fridges used for selling drinks and items that need to be displayed.
