Choosing a Kemppi could save you a small fortune in electricity charges over a year!
Just by choosing one Kemppi FastMIG 400 welding MIG machine over another make in your workshop could save you a small fortune over a year.
It is a subject that normally gets overlooked but it should be taken into consideration with the cost of electric bills spiraling upwards.
Look at the table below and see for yourself.
Make |
KW per day |
KW per Week |
Cost £ per week | Cost £ per year |
Lincoln Electric 420c |
57.1KW | 285.5KW |
£42.83 | £2065.00 |
Fronius |
37.3KW | 186.5KW | £27.98 | £1342.80 |
Miller 402 Deltaweld |
42.5KW | 212.5KW | £31.88 | £1342.80 |
Kemppi FastMIG KM 400 |
29.4KW | 147KW | £22.05 | £1058.40 |
As you can see there is a considerable difference between the running costs of the four machines chosen.
Based on a (5 day week) and (48 working weeks per year) the figures begin to stack up. These costs per week and per year have been based on current electricity business rates of £0.15 per KWH
So you can see that there is a potential saving of just over £1000.00 per year by choosing a Kemppi over the most expensive machine to run.
In fact at todays prices the Kemppi would pay for itself in just over 2 years! May be even less time if the price of energy keeps going up!
