I had that happen to me in 2005. It was in the summer in Texas and the guy said it was because I wouldn't be able to use my air conditioner, and I said I do it all the time but he wouldn't budge.

Actually, residential refrigerators use a LOT less electricity than absorption refrigerators when in electric mode. Over the course of 24 hours, a residential refrigerator will use about 1.5 kwh of electricity, while my four-door Norcold used about 7 kwh/day, and now with an Amish cooling unit, it's using more like 6 kwh/day. Residential refrigerators use only about 1/4 of that.
