Another Hidden Cost – Electricity
For every degree your refrigeration runs colder than necessary, it will consume up to 5% more electricity. So, a freezer that costs $3000 per annum to run, could end up costing $450 to $500 extra if you run it at -22°C instead of -18°C. It can be easily shown that the cost of the Temp Assure system is more than covered by optimising the temperature of each of the refrigeration systems on site.
