Energy-efficient cellar cooling for Coombe Social Club

The challenge

Social clubs, like all UK businesses, have been significantly impacted by the dramatic increases in electricity costs. At Coombe Social Club, their outdated 20-year-old cellar cooler was one of the most significant contributors to high energy usage, draining valuable resources. Wayne, the Club Secretary, and the committee saw an opportunity to invest in energy-efficient technology that would not only reduce costs but also offer a strong return on investment.

The solution

Smart Projects replaced the outdated cellar cooler with a new, energy-efficient model. This involved the safe removal and disposal of the old unit and the seamless installation of the new system.

By investing in a new energy-efficient system, the club has achieved substantial financial and environmental gains. From reduced electricity consumption to a swift return on investment.

Below is a snapshot of the key outcomes delivered by the project:

• The total investment was £4,100.
• The annual return amounts to £2,706.40.
• The new system will pay for itself in under 24 months, with an estimated payback period of approximately 18 months.
• Annual electricity consumption dropped dramatically from 26,290 kWh to 12,590 kWh.
• The club significantly reduced its carbon footprint.
• The new equipment includes a 3-year warranty and ongoing professional maintenance to protect the investment.

The result

The installation of the new energy-efficient cellar cooler by Smart Projects delivered substantial financial and environmental benefits to Coombe Social Club. The club now enjoys significantly lower operating costs, a reduced carbon footprint, and the peace of mind that comes with a modern, reliable system.
