When the boiler tech plugs his droplight in where your freezer goes and you don't notice for a week:

You can save a lot of stuff by putting something in the bottom of the freezer to get the "stuff" a few inches off the bottom. When the freezer thaws, you end up with an inch of bloody nasty water that will contaminate everything.

I bought a plastic "egg crate" light diffuser (typically used for florescent light fixtures in suspended ceilings) and cut it to fit the freezer's inside dimensions. It's only about half an inch thick, but you could stack several layers if you wanted extra depth.

We use battery-powered freezer alarms at work on -80C ultra-cold freezers for storing biological samples, strains, and some chemicals. They've saved us tens of thousands of dollars and many years of work several times.

You can also buy autodialers that will call you with a recorded message to let you know your freezer just went down.

We buy part of a cow every year and vacuum seal all the meat into serving size packages. No bloody mess and the meat last 4x as long....
