Refrigeration

Save money with efficient refrigeration

For grocery stores and other retail businesses, one of the largest areas of energy use is the refrigeration system. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, refrigeration accounts for 50 to 60 percent of energy use in grocery stores. Because grocery store margins are so thin—as low as 1%—every dollar in energy savings is the equivalent of increasing sales by $59.

For refrigeration-intense businesses, lowering refrigeration-related energy costs by just 10 percent can increase net profit margin by as much as 16 percent. No wonder it’s essential to keep those energy costs low.

There are many options available to improve your energy efficiency, including high-efficiency refrigeration equipment and preventative maintenance checks. If you are interested in learning more or have a project in mind, contact one of our Energy Experts.
