10 Ways to Save Money

1. Use T-5 energy efficient light fittings...modern linear fluorescent tubes are up to 50% more efficient than the older T8 tubes providing higher light output and longer life. Upgrading To T5 lighting saves energy and reduces the maintenance costs associated with replacing tubes.

2. Fit eCubes in your refrigeration units…Invented by British engineers, the eCube reduces energy consumption by up to 33%. It is a neat wax cube that is easily fitted onto a thermostat sensor, and it changes how fridges and freezers work by mimicking food. Rather than respond to fluctuating air temperature, the eCube makes refrigeration units read food temperature only. Click here for more information...(goes to eCube page)

3. You can achieve significant energy and money savings by making the best use of the proper use of your programmable air conditioning thermostat. We recommend you set your air conditioning thermostat to 23 degrees

4. You can also make significant savings if you turn off your air conditioning at night

5. Using inverter technology can mean up to 30% less power consumption by your air conditioning system. An inverter unit will gradually increase its capacity based on what is required to cool down or heat up the room. The system will reach the temperature you want far quicker, and there are no temperature fluctuations.

6. You will save energy if you defrost your freezer cases regularly. A build-up of frost and ice means the appliance has to work that much harder to maintain the right temperature.

7. Turn off door heaters in summer

8. Ensure your coldroom and cabinet doors are kept closed

9. Regularly check that your coldroom and cabinet seals are in good condition

10. Use night blinds on open-fronted cases
