SmartCellar

Energy Saving Device

Cut Cellar Cooling Costs by up to £1,800 a Year

Looking to reduce your pub or bar’s energy bills?

The SmartCellar Energy Saving Device is a retrofit energy-saving system for beer cellar coolers.

‘The SmartCellar sits beside my Main Cooler and basically prints me a £1000 every year’

Here’s the simple headline: the Smart Cellar delivers the same savings as installing around £7,000 worth of solar panels, but at around 85% less costand it’s fitted in just an hour. Payments can be spread over ten months, so it effectively pays for itself from day one.

It’s a quick win — no disruption, no long payback, just lower energy bills straight away.

Smart Cooling, Simplified

Our system is designed with both performance and practicality in mind—ideal for anyone looking to improve efficiency while keeping things easy to manage.

How it Works

  • Beer kegs naturally act like thermos flasks, retaining their internal temperature.
  • The SmartCellar intelligently switches off the external condenser (responsible for up to 95% of cellar energy usage) at controlled intervals, without affecting beer quality.
  • The cellar stays at the ideal 12°C, while delivering major energy savings year-round.

 

Key Benefits

  • Average savings:        £1,200+ per year (depending on your p/kWh rate).
  • Typically saves           6,000–7,000 kWh per site per year.
  • Payment option:         10 months interest-free — savings cover the cost.
 
  • Two-year guarantee plus a savings guarantee (refund of any shortfall after year one).
  • All savings tracked via a mobile app + online portal, with site-specific reporting.

What Is SmartCellar?

SmartCellar is a smart control unit that integrates with your existing cellar cooling system—no need to replace your current setup. It controls the condenser unit (the main energy-consuming part of a cooling system), switching it off during specific hours without compromising beer quality.

How SmartCellar Saves Energy

SmartCellar works on a simple principle: beer kegs are highly insulated—similar to thermos flasks—so the beer stays cold even when the surrounding cellar air begins to warm.

Energy-Saving Parameters:
Maintains beer at an ideal storage temperature of 12°C
Shuts off the condenser for up to 8 hours (e.g. midnight–8:00 AM)
Allows additional energy-saving hours from 4:00–7:00 PM
Automatically reactivates the condenser if cellar temperature exceeds 17°C
This operation reduces energy consumption significantly without affecting beer quality

Easy Installation

SmartCellar is powered from the fan unit of the cellar chiller. The control wire between the fan and condenser passes through the SmartCellar unit, giving it control over condenser operation. Installation is quick and does not disrupt existing systems.
