The Kool Curtains brand of energy and cost saving night blinds will save you money.
Because they keep cold air INSIDE the fridge, the compressor runs less often and hence uses less electricity. Additionally, there is less wear and tear on the compressor, effectively extending its lifespan. Why produce cold air all night just to have it “spill out” into the store?
Electricity savings can be estimated using a calculation based on (a) the cost of the in-store electricity per kWh, and (b) the number of hours that the curtains are in use. Data on actual tests performed is available on the Kool Curtains website here .
