Look for the ENERGY STAR and Find Savings in Your Commercial Kitchen
There are eight types of commercial food service (CFS) equipment that can earn EPA's ENERGY STAR. Qualified
equipment models contribute to a cleaner environment by using less energy and less water than conventional
CFS models. Since most commercial kitchen equipment lasts eight years or more, maximize your savings
potential by choosing ENERGY STAR when replacing your appliances.
Compared to conventional CFS equipment, ENERGY STAR qualified equipment could
save you the following over their lifetimes:

WHERE TO START SAVING: FIVE EASY STEPS!
Install ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent
lamps (CFLs) in your walk-in refrigerators and kitchen
ventilation hoods (and throughout your restaurant where appropriate).
Install a high-efficiency pre-rinse spray
valve in your dishroom and save hundreds of
dollars a year! For more information, visit:
www.fishnick.com/equipment/sprayvalves.
Fix water leaks immediately— especially hot
water leaks: wasted water, sewer, and water heating
costs can add up to hundreds of dollars a year.
Perform walk-in refrigerator maintenance:
check and replace door gaskets; clean evaporator and
condenser coils; check refrigerant charge.
Replace worn-out cooking and
refrigeration equipment with ENERGY STAR
qualified models!

(or electric) fryer is often more than
the annual gas (or electric) bill of an
average U.S. house!
Show Me the Money!
Many utilities offer monetary incentives
to offset the added purchase cost of
ENERGY STAR qualified CFS equipment.
Find out if there are incentives in your
area by visiting:
