What to do if the unit you’re buying is not on the energy-rating website
If the refrigeration unit is not listed on the EnergyCut.info/energy-rating-gov website, find out how many watts it uses over a 24-hour period.
With this information, you can calculate the 10-year running cost:
- Find out how many watts the unit uses over a 24-hour period.
- Multiply that amount by 3,560 and you’ll establish how many watts of power it will use over 10 years.
- Divide this figure by 1,000 and you’ll have how many kW that is.
- Multiply that figure by how much you pay per kWh for electricity. This is your 10-year running cost.
