Cold Room Installation: How Much Does It Cost?
If you’re looking to install a cold room to store business’ perishable products on your premises, you’ll need to budget for the equipment itself – plus installation of the cold room. Basic cold-rooms will, of course, cost less than more advanced, spacious, and work-intensive designs that come equipped with additional extras.
However, you do need to pay for the right design to match your refrigeration needs. Trying to save money on inadequate, cramped layouts can cost you more in the long run with spoilage and lost orders as opposed to investing in quality equipment in the first place.
MTCSS is here to advise on the factors that can influence how much your cold room installation will cost.
MTCSS Design & Install Cold Rooms For Your Business
Purchasing a low-cost cold room quickly online may be an easy option – but will the cold room be fit for your purpose?
We want to help you understand the importance of understanding how a chiller or freezer cold room impacts your day-to-day functioning.
- Walk-in chiller and freezer cold rooms offer more space and energy savings than stand-alone commercial fridges or freezers – and they give you the opportunity to organise your products more effectively
- A cold room protects your products 24 hours a day, which is why MTCSS use the highest quality products in our cold storage room design – we understand the impact low-quality storage may have on your business and its revenue
- Your walk-in cold room needs to be built for purpose. If the cold room doesn’t have the elements you need to make it function correctly for you – then this could result in your products perishing and having to spend further money on your cold room to make it fit for purpose.
Off-the-shelf cold rooms from online stores may save you money at the forefront – but these cold rooms are designed to fit your business and storage needs. At MTCSS, our team will work with you to offer cold room installation for the long haul.
Factors To Consider When Designing A Cold Room
How much you’ll need to pay for your new cold room can vary greatly.
The size and complexity of your desired cold room will both influence the cost of installation. You’ll also need to factor in electricity and ongoing cold room maintenance into your overall budget costs. Let’s look at the main factor to affect the price of a cold room or temperature-controlled room.
It’s straightforward – put simply, the larger the space being equipped with refrigeration, the higher the installation cost. Full building conversions, also referred to as turnkey installations, that include suspended ceilings and bespoke cold room elements will cost more due to the complex requirements.
High-capacity spaces can save you money long-term as your business expands, however. If you’re not careful, you can end up with scattered goods storage. Running lots of separate smaller cold rooms can end up costing you more in ongoing utility bills for water and electricity.
In this tricky scenario, it may be worth considering building or renovating a larger, central cold storage area to rehouse items that aren’t immediately needed day-to-day. Especially within the current climate, reducing your running costs where possible is incredibly beneficial for your business.
Cold Room Design From MTCSS
The last critical factor affecting the price of your cold room is the type of cold room design.
MTCSS can design, install and supply modular and bespoke cold rooms – all suited to different scales and purposes depending on your individual requirements. Varying materials and different levels of cold room insulation can vary in cost, too.
You should consult your supplier to find out which is the best choice for your business. MTCSS will guide you through the full process, from consideration to installation, helping you optimise your new cold storage space.
At MTCSS we understand how important the role of a walk-in chiller or freezer is to a business. A poorly functioning cold room can result in loss of energy, loss of products and loss of money. Considering the initial costs of a cold room against the ongoing costs and maintenance costs is important. A cheaper cold room may cost less initially but may cause unwanted and unplanned costs in the future.
