‘Cold’ hard cash: How much inefficient medical refrigeration could be costing you

In the current economic climate, the unit price of the refrigerator is only half the story. The real cost is your organisation’s energy bill. 

At Lec Medical, we wanted to know exactly how much that cost is. So, we painstakingly pitted our current models against competitor specifications. 

We found that the efficiency gap between a Lec Medical unit and a standard competitor model can cost you thousands over the product's lifespan.

• Large Laboratory Fridges: The difference here is massive. A standard competitor unit costs roughly £1,396 to run over five years. The equivalent Lec Medical model? Just £318. That is a saving of £1,078 per fridge.
• Mid-Sized Pharmacy Fridges: The savings are not limited to big units. On a mid-sized pharmacy fridge, we found our models could save you nearly £450 in running costs over five years compared to the market alternative.
• Small Ward Fridges: Even on smaller 36L units, choosing Lec Medical saves more than £400 over five years. Multiple fridges on multiple wards? You can see how the savings soon add up. 

Scale that up across a Trust, a pharmacy chain, or a laboratory complex, and you are looking at serious money.

And it’s not just about the bottom line. In our tests, swapping just one inefficient large lab fridge for a Lec Medical unit prevents more than 750kg of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere over its lifetime.

We are pleased to announce that our rigorous testing has earned us  the ‘Greener Choice’ status on Fisher Scientific websites. It’s an independent stamp of approval that proves our claims are real.
