Oh, give me a break! Special "garage freezers"? "Code violations?" Don't be ridiculous! How hot do you think it gets here in the summer? It's not the surface of the sun. It's not even TEXAS.

I have the full-size fridge/freezer from my old Texas house, plus a big upright freezer right next to it in my garage. They both work just fine -- exactly the same as they did in Houston, where the outside temperature in the summer often goes over 100 for weeks at a time. And I didn't have to pay an electrician to install a "code violating" extra recep to do it. I don't know what the local code says, but in most localities, garage circuits are usually limited to two receps, anyway, for this exact reason. Both of my freezers are plugged into the same recep and work just fine.

The question is not whether Florida is too hot for a garage freezer. The question is whether your Villages garage has enough room to put it there.
