Ideally, it is best to transport your fridge standing upright. This is to keep the cooling refrigerant in the right place. However, this isn't always possible, in which case you should provide lots of padding and secure it with straps so it can't move and the doors can't spring open. The Good Guys home services offer transportation and installation of your new fridge.

How long your fridge lasts depends on a variety of factors. Generally, you can expect your fridge to last 6-20 years, depending on how well you've kept up with maintenance. Entry level fridges tend to have a shorter lifespan than their premium counterparts. Make sure to also check the warranty on your fridge as you can expect it to last at least that long.

Prices start from $900 for a family-sized 500-litre, top-mount fridge, and go up to $9000 for an 800-litre, French door smart fridge with internet connectivity, a knock-twice door, and internal stainless steel interior – as opposed to traditional white plastic.
