Natural Gas Fridges & Freezers

Why Our Refrigerators?

Durability

A natural gas refrigerator has fewer moving parts than a traditional electric fridge. This means less wear and tear over time. Not only does this improve the refrigerator’s dependability, reliability and efficiency but it is also a better overall return on investment.

Can Be Used in Places With No Electric Power

According to a recent report, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has boosted interest in off-grid living. With this has come a demand for off-grid appliances such as natural gas refrigerators and freezers, which can function outside the traditional electric grid. This makes them a highly sought-after alternative for people living closer to nature, off grid, and/or spending more time outdoors where conventional electric outlets are scarce or non-existent.

Supplement Regular Electric Refrigerators

In recent years, the reliability of electric grids has come into question. Take, for example, the recent historic winter in Texas and parts of the US Gulf Coast, which completely knocked off the electric power to homes and businesses. In these types of scenarios, natural gas refrigerators and freezers are a welcome alternative.

Efficient

From a scientific standpoint, gas generates heat more efficiently than electricity. As a result, gas-powered refrigerators have outperformed electric ones in many scenarios, even though they may cost more initially. Because they have fewer moving parts and feature a more minimalistic internal design, they tend to last much longer. Additionally, gas has a modest energy advantage compared to electricity.

Natural Gas Refrigerators — FAQs

How does a natural gas fridge work?

Natural gas refrigerators use an absorption cooling system rather than a compressor. A small gas flame heats a sealed solution (typically ammonia, water, and hydrogen). As the fluids circulate, heat is absorbed from the fridge compartment, creating quiet, reliable cooling with no moving parts, which makes them ideal as off-grid appliances or for backup use.

Are natural gas appliances being phased out?

No broad, universal phase-out exists. Policies vary by location and often apply only to certain types of new construction. Many regions continue to permit and support gas appliances, especially for specialized or off-grid applications. Always check your local codes, and our team can help you understand what applies to your property.

Can natural gas appliances run on propane?

Often, yes—with the correct conversion. Many refrigerators and ranges are engineered to operate on either natural gas or propane when fitted with the manufacturer’s approved orifice and regulator kit. For safety and performance, conversions should be performed by a qualified technician, and you should use only parts specified for your exact model.

Are natural gas fridges safe?

When installed and maintained correctly, yes. Proper venting, adequate clearances, and periodic inspection of the burner, flue, and seals are essential. We also recommend using a carbon monoxide detector in the space where it is set up as an added precaution.

Do natural gas refrigerators need electricity?

The absorption-style natural gas refrigerators we offer are designed to operate without electricity. The cooling cycle is powered by a small gas flame, so there is no compressor or electrical draw.

What maintenance do natural gas fridges need?

Upkeep is simple: keep the burner area clean, inspect the flue for soot, check door gaskets, and make sure the unit stays level. An annual service by a qualified technician, including cleaning the burner jet, verifying gas pressure, and confirming a proper draft, can help keep efficiency high and prevent shutdowns. Wipe interior surfaces regularly and defrost when frost covers about 75% of the cooling fins.
