These simple steps can create significant energy savings for new and existing grocery stores, restaurants, convenience stores and other refrigeration-intense businesses.

Refrigeration Tips
- Install anti-sweat heater controls on display cases to turn the heaters off when unneeded and save $140 or more per sensor each year.
- Install high-efficiency evaporative fan motors in refrigerated cases and walk-in coolers to cut motor energy use by up to 70 percent.
- Add night covers to open cases to trap refrigerated air and reduce electricity use by up to 40 percent.
- Replace old appliances with ENERGY STAR labeled commercial solid door refrigerators and freezers, which save up to 45 percent of electricity use compared to other models.
- Purchase high-efficiency ice makers and set production for off-peak hours.
- Improve the efficiency of your walk-ins by adding strip curtains and switching incandescent lamps to CFLs.
- Conduct regular maintenance. Recharge low refrigerant. Clean condenser and evaporator coils. Replace torn or loose door gaskets. Insulate bare suction lines.
