    not sure where you are from but there are also deep freezers that look like fridges. they also don’t run the compressor the whole time, so there is no need to only ‘turn them on’ when electricity is cheap (which, from a european pov is all ghr time in thr USA). if they get above a certain threshold, they turn on and then off again when reaching the target temperature. that usually takes about 10 minutes. if you only turn it on at night it might be running way longer than when it’s on the whole time…
