Measure the opening first — width (usually 30", 33", or 36") and depth. Standard-depth holds more and costs less but sticks out past your cabinets; counter-depth sits nearly flush for a built-in look, trading a little interior room for a cleaner line.

Where the freezer lives drives daily kitchen use. Common configurations include:

• French door (3 or 4-door): Most popular for families, fridge on top
• Bottom-freezer: Single fridge door on top, drawer below.
• Side-by-side: Narrower vertical compartments.
• Top-freezer: Traditional and most affordable.

Cubic feet should match your household. A common rule of thumb is 4–6 cubic feet per person, but how you actually shop and cook matters more than the number. We'll help you right-size it — bigger isn't better if it means wasted energy and half-empty shelves.

The extras: in-door water and ice, in-freezer ice, or neither; smart features; and finish. Stainless is standard, but colors and panel-ready built-in fronts (42", 48", 60") still exist if you want the fridge to disappear into the cabinetry. We also service high-end built-ins like Sub-Zero and Viking if you already own one and want a team that knows them.
