Professional appliances

Maximising overall value – Minimising environmental impact

For commercial customers, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Total Value of Ownership (TVO) are key. With rising energy costs and climate concerns, efficiency and reliability are more important than ever. Our appliances offer long-term value through innovation, durability, and sustainability. We prioritise recyclability, circular economy practices, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing the Total Cost of Ownership

Our professional appliances are designed to minimise Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through intelligent, durable solutions. By reducing energy, maintenance, and operational costs over the product’s lifespan, our professional appliances deliver long-term efficiency, making them a cost-effective choice for businesses.

Our professional appliances are an economically sustainable investment. Built for durability, with components tested for a 15-year lifespan, they help minimise replacement and repair costs.

With outstanding energy efficiency, our professional appliances significantly lower operating costs while conserving valuable resources.

  • Easy-to-clean materials and design: Simplified cleaning reduces labour costs and streamlines operations.
  • NoFrost technology: NoFrost eliminates the need for manual defrosting, avoiding work disruptions and extra expenses.
  • Minimal maintenance and repair needs:Our professional appliances require minimal maintenance thanks to intelligent design and high-quality components. Engineered for reliability, they help reduce repairs and lower operational costs.

Our ergonomic designs facilitate smooth workflows, improving productivity and reducing labour costs associated with daily use.

Optimising the Total Value of Ownership

We aim to enhance the overall value our professional appliances bring to businesses. From supporting sustainability goals to improving workflows, they deliver tangible benefits that extend beyond financial savings.

Our energy-efficient professional appliances and their long lifespan actively help customers reduce their carbon footprint and meet environmental targets by lowering CO₂ emissions.

  • Easy-to-clean design: Simplified maintenance reduces cleaning time and labour.
  • NoFrost technology: Eliminates the need for defrosting, streamlining workflows and saving valuable time.
  • Temperature stability and alarms: Ensure safe storage and prevent losses.
  • HumidityControl: Provides ideal storage conditions to maintain product quality.

Our ergonomic designs enable effortless workflows, boosting efficiency and delivering added value to daily operations.

Ever more efficient

We continuously improve our refrigeration technology, incorporating advanced features like vacuum insulation panels, variable capacity compressors, and state-of-the-art temperature management systems. These technologies ensure optimal energy use, reduce food waste, and lower running costs.

Putting a label on energy efficiency

Fridges and freezers run 24/7, making energy efficiency a top priority. For decades, we have focused on reducing energy consumption in both consumer and professional appliances. The energy label for commercial refrigeration has an A-to-G efficiency rating, helping businesses make informed decisions, selecting appliances that deliver long-term economic and environmental benefits.

The Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) compares actual energy use to a standard reference, with lower EEI values indicating higher efficiency and lower operating costs.

The EEI is calculated based on:

  • Actual energy consumption: The real electricity use over a defined period.
  • Reference energy consumption: A theoretical value determined by the appliance’s size and usage conditions.
  • Modern technologies: Features like advanced insulation, energy-efficient compressors, and optimised cooling circuits that reduce energy use.

High efficiency: This is how economical a Liebherr can be

You can find out how efficient our professional appliances are using the online tool from the EU-financed projects LABEL2020 and BELT. View and compare the electricity consumption and lots of other product data for electrical appliances. The calculator also takes account of local electricity prices and shows the costs for the entire period of use.
