Modern heat pumps, which use the same principle as A/C, can achieve 4 to 1 efficiency. Old fridges can be tanks, but are horribly inefficient. A new high efficiency unit could probably pay itself off in 2 3 years.

True, but with the insulation upgrade you'd basically end up with a DIY fridge that will probaby cost more, work less well and fail sooner.
