In practice, newer back-bar bottle coolers can reduce running costs because they typically benefit from improvements such as better insulation, more efficient compressors and fans, tighter door seals, and LED lighting. The biggest savings tend to appear when the older cooler has any of these issues:
Door gaskets are split or the doors don’t self-close cleanly
The condenser is dusty or airflow is restricted in a tight back-bar void
The thermostat is set colder than needed for service
The unit is struggling in a warm, unventilated bar area
