The intelligent cellar cooling manager

“Know the true cost of every pour”

One patented eco-system controlling all your refrigeration.

Cellar, post-mix, pythons, walk-ins, and chillers/freezers — with full energy monitoring across every control. Nothing else comes close, and you see the savings in one live portal. Intelligent cooling that learns your cellar’s unique rhythm, outsmarting other schedulers to protect your equipment in ways basic timers simply can’t.

How it works

Patented intelligence,
nothing else come close

SavaAIR is powered by proprietary, patented firmware that learns each system’s thermal profile and cools smarter, not harder. One platform runs your entire refrigeration eco-system, monitors the energy of every control, and proves the savings in a live portal — so you always know exactly what you’re paying for.

SavaAIR Family of Controls

One system for your whole refrigeration eco-system

From the cellar to the back bar, SavaAIR coordinates every cooling load against your opening hours and the real outside-air temperature — with full energy monitoring on every control.

savaCORE

savaCORE

Cellar A/C control

Standard cellar air conditioning units run on rigid, inefficient cycles that waste electricity. The SavaCORE actively monitors your cellar's real-time performance and dynamically adjusts compressor run times to match the exact cooling demand. Powered by advanced, patent-pending technology, it intelligently changes the A/C run profile to maximize energy efficiency, ensuring you only pay for the cooling you actually need.

savaAREO

savaAREO

POPULAR

Cellar + free-air cooling

Everything in CORE, plus advanced free-air cooling — Between October and April, outdoor temperatures are often perfectly chilled. Our advanced system uses multiple sensors to automatically draw in ambient winter air, maintaining a flawless 10°C–12°C cellar temperature while keeping your expensive main compressor completely switched off.

savaFLOW

savaFLOW

Beer python chillers

Standard python systems run at full capacity 24/7. Our intelligent controls sync with your trading hours to maintain the perfect dispense temperature from keg to tap. You eliminate energy waste during off-peak hours and overnight, all without compromising your first-pour quality.

savaPOST

savaPOST

Post-mix machines

Traditional syrup chillers run constantly and waste massive amounts of electricity. The SavaAIR platform takes control of your post-mix cooling, drastically reducing compressor run-times. You get maximum energy savings while ensuring soft drinks remain perfectly carbonated and ice cold.

savaGANTRY

savaGANTRY

NEW

Hot food gantry lamps

Stops heated food lamps being left on continually, monitors their energy use, and reports straight back to the same web portal — 50%+ savings in the right conditions.

savaBOTTLE

Bottle chillers

Our patented SavaControl technology first cuts running power consumption, then switches the chiller off in quiet periods and pre-cools BEFORE busy periods — no warm beer, no flashing chiller lights, with full energy monitoring.

savaWALK_IN

Cellar cooling manager FAQs

The best cellar energy saver for a pub is an intelligent controller that adapts to real cellar conditions, rather than a basic timer that switches cooling off on a fixed schedule. SavaAIR monitors live temperature and demand across your cellar A/C, pythons, and post-mix, cutting cooling costs by more than 50% while a timer typically manages only one load and risks warm beer on hot days.
Typical savings are more than 50% on cellar cooling running costs, and up to 60% with optimised set-points — and the web portal shows your savings measured to the kWh, not estimated.
 

Most standard controllers on the market are just basic timer switches that simply turn your cooling off when the site is closed. SavaAIR is an intelligent energy management platform:

  • Patented Intelligence: Powered by proprietary firmware, it actively learns your cellar’s unique thermal profile to cool smarter, not harder.

  • Multi-Load Management: It seamlessly synchronizes and controls up to three separate refrigeration loads at once (such as your cellar A/C, python, and post-mix).

  • Verifiable Savings: We don't just promise results—we prove them. You can track your exact energy reductions in real-time (in kWh) through our live web portal.

A beer cellar should be kept between 11°C and 13°C, with 12°C the ideal target for cask and keg beer. SavaAIR holds this range automatically — including with free winter air on AREO systems — and logs live cellar temperatures to the web portal so you have a compliance record for every site.
Cellar cooling is typically the single largest energy user in a pub, often costing £1,500–£3,000+ per year per site because the compressor runs 24/7, 365 days a year. SavaAIR could cuts this by more than 50% by matching compressor run time to actual cooling demand instead of running on rigid cycles.
Switching cellar cooling off on a timer risks warm beer, fobbing, and stock spoilage, because a fixed schedule can't react to a hot day or a busy cellar. SavaAIR is smarter than a timer: it monitors real cellar conditions continuously and only reduces cooling when temperature data proves it's safe to do so.
No. SavaAIR maintains the cellar within the brewery-recommended 11–13°C band at all times — beer quality is the system's first constraint, savings come second. Every installation logs continuous temperature data to the portal, so you can prove to your brewery or brand owner that conditions never drifted.

Free-air cooling draws in cold outside air — typically available from October to April in the UK — to chill the cellar with fans instead of the compressor. The savaAREO uses multiple sensors to switch automatically between free air and refrigeration, holding 10–12°C while the main compressor stays off for much of the
Yes. SavaAIR retrofits to virtually any existing cellar cooling system — there is no need to replace your cooler, python, or post-mix equipment. Our NICEIC-approved engineers fit the controller alongside your current plant, so you keep your existing warranty arrangements and avoid the capital cost of new refrigeration.
A typical SavaAIR installation is completed in under a day by our in-house NICEIC and ECA-approved electrical teams, with no disruption to trading and no loss of cellar temperature during the changeover. We handle everything nationwide, from the initial site survey to final commissioning and portal setup.
Most SavaAIR installations pay for themselves within 12–24 months from energy savings alone, depending on site size and electricity tariff. Because the portal measures savings in real kWh — not estimates — you can verify the payback on every site from day one.
Yes. By eliminating short-cycling and unnecessary run hours, SavaAIR significantly reduces compressor wear — the most expensive component in your cellar cooling system. Fewer running hours means fewer breakdowns, lower maintenance costs, and a longer service life for your existing plant.
SavaAIR is designed fail-safe: if the controller loses power or develops a fault, your cellar cooling reverts to normal operation, so the beer is never put at risk. The portal also raises automatic alerts for abnormal temperatures or equipment faults, often before site staff would notice a problem.
SavaAIR connects via your site's Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet to report live data to the web portal. If the connection drops, the controller keeps managing the cellar completely independently — savings and beer protection continue offline, and telemetry syncs when the connection returns.
Yes — SavaAIR is built for estates. One portal shows every site with tiered access for site staff, area managers, head office, and maintenance engineers, plus automated temperature and savings reports by email. Head office sees estate-wide kWh savings; engineers can diagnose faults remotely and avoid call-out fees.
