30 Jul How Much Does Commercial Freezer Installation Cost?
According to reports, 4.8 million tonnes of food goes to waste in the UK supply chain every year.
One of the best ways to reduce food waste in your business is to invest in a reliable commercial freezer. Getting a commercial freezer installation done can also allow you to expand and keep more stock.
However, installing a commercial refrigeration unit isn’t always a cheap exercise. Are you worried about how much money it will take to install a freezer?
Keep reading and get clear on the costs associated with commercial freezer installations, and find out what you can do if you’re not able to buy a commercial refrigeration unit outright.
Commercial Freezer Installation Costs
The cost of installing a commercial freezer will very much depend on the type and size of freezer you need.
For example, a blast chiller can cost you anywhere between £14 000 to £29 000. This is a large outlay for any type of business, but it is often a very worthwhile investment. Blast chillers can be invaluable for restaurants and businesses that do a lot of food prep.
However, maybe you don’t need a blast chiller but rather a walk-in cooler? Having a custom walk-in freezer built can also cost a pretty penny, but you can save some money if you opt for a prebuilt walk-in cold room unit.
The cold room units we sell cost between £4 000 and £6 5000 excluding VAT. Because these units are ready-built cold rooms, installation only costs £450. The installation cost also includes delivery.
Finally, if you want to install some simple standup freezers or chest freezers, this shouldn’t cost you more than a couple of thousand pounds. If you just need one chest freezer, should cost you well under £1 000.
These types of units are pretty much plug-and-play, so you won’t need to pay much in the way of installation costs.
Leasing Options
If the upfront costs of a commercial freezer installation are prohibitive, you can also look into leasing options.
There are many benefits to leasing equipment for businesses. Leasing equipment allows you to expand your operation without the need for large capital outlays. In most cases, you can claim the monthly leasing cost as a running expense.
Instead of buying a commercial refrigeration unit and having to depreciate it each year, you can streamline your books and simply claim the monthly lease amount.
By choosing to lease a commercial freezer, you can also preserve existing lines of credit, conserve working capital, and enjoy flexible payment terms.
