The lovely Gina, one of our regular ladies in the restaurant, has been giving me a hand with getting the joint more energy efficient. One of her ideas was to begin a maintenance program for the refrigeration compressors (in a commercial setting, the motors that cool the fridges are external to the fridge ‘cabinet’. The compressors are these external motors).
So, the fridge tech came out and gave the motors a good clean and mentioned we should save a bit on our energy bill. Gina and the fridgy were bang on to the tune of about $60 for a month! The financial cost was about $120 for the work and I think we’ll do this every 6 months. So for a couple of hundred dollars a year, we could save about $700 plus the saving on potential breakdown costs that the regular servicing will help protect against. So, high fives to Gina for this initiative – it is always nice when helping the environment is also financially beneficial!
