Not so negligible! If your fridge draws, say, 1500 W while it’s running, then it releases 1500 W of heat into your living space PLUS the heat it’s removing from its interior. That’s pretty substantial while it’s running! But hopefully it’s not running full-tilt 24 hours per day lol

A fridge definitely doesn’t draw 1500 W continuously. You might be thinking of the start-up surge power draw My double-door draws 300 W instantaneous (average power is obviously a lot less than that)
