Smart energy & sustainability
For a dedicated waste cooler, energy use is typically modest. Using a notional input of
0.40kW for the Thermaster WBC2-240 and a typical Australian
electricity rate of $0.32/kWh, running 24 hours/day gives an indicative
running cost of:
- Daily: ≈ $3.07
- Week: ≈ $21.50
- Month (30.4 days): ≈ $93.40
- Year: ≈ $1,120
A comparable cabinet using around 0.55kW could cost roughly
$1,540/year, so the WBC2-240 may save in the order of
$420/year (about 27% lower input) under similar conditions.
At an indicative grid factor of 0.82kg CO₂e/kWh, that saving equates to
avoiding roughly 1,080kg CO₂e per year compared with a less efficient
equivalent—supporting both hygiene and environmental goals for high-volume kitchens.
Cooling Efficiency: ★★★★☆ Energy Cost Rating: B+
CO₂ Reduction: ~27% vs standard AU 2026 Energy Ready
Estimates are indicative only and exclude fixed supply charges. Real-world energy use will
vary with duty cycle, ambient conditions and maintenance.
