Ensure dedicated circuit for fridge to reduce nuisance flicker and improve overall home electrical stability.

FHA officials explain how interior color affects light, comfort, and well being. White or cream walls reflect up to 80 percent of light, while red or blue walls can reduce visibility. Lighter tints with high reflection improve brightness in rooms with little natural light.
