If you own a grocery store, convenience store or restaurant, you may be asking yourself, “What can I do to save energy in my commercial refrigeration?” Luckily, there’s a company out there that can help you answer this question.

During our time in business, we’ve been very successful at helping businesses meet their goal, too. In fact, we’ve helped our clients complete more than $750 million in energy optimization projects.

Services we offer that can help your business save energy in commercial refrigeration
Our Energy Optimization team has no doubt that setting a goal to save energy in commercial refrigeration is a smart move for your business. However, we also know you may not have any idea how to generate the savings you need.
Our team is ready to help you find energy-saving potential in your commercial refrigeration systems. For example, we offer a service that allows you to upgrade your fan and compressor motors to variable frequency drives. Variable frequency drives, also known as variable speed drives, are much more energy efficient than traditional refrigeration motors. This is because variable speed drives can operate at different voltages depending on how hard they’re working at any given moment. The ability to use varying voltages allows them to use less electricity overall than traditional drives that use the same amount of electricity all the time.
Another service we offer that can help reduce the energy used by your commercial refrigeration systems is energy management system retrofits. Your energy management system may be one of the most important physical components in your refrigeration system, and it also has a huge potential to save you energy. For instance, this system allows you to see issues with your refrigeration systems that could cause your energy usage to spike. However, your energy management system may not be as capable if it’s an older model. Our energy management system retrofit service can improve your system with the latest hardware and software so it can generate energy savings for you.
Besides these two services, our team also offers a variety of other services that may increase the energy-saving potential of your commercial refrigeration systems, including:
- Electronically commuted motor upgrades
- Building automated control system installations
- Anti-sweat control retrofits
- Medium temperature door installations
- Energy analysis services
This is by no means a comprehensive list of the services we offer that could generate energy savings for your business and lead to utility rebates. To find out more about all the services we offer that can help you save energy in your commercial refrigeration, there’s only one step you’ll have to take.
