ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR appliances help restaurant owners and operators improve the performance of their facilities and equipment while reducing energy costs. Restaurants that invest strategically can cut utility costs 10 to 30 percent without sacrificing service, quality, style or comfort — while making significant contributions to a cleaner environment. Restaurants, or operations with commercial kitchens using ENERGY STAR equipment consume significantly less energy than other similar buildings.

ENERGY STAR qualified equipment can be an effective answer to mounting energy bills. By purchasing ENERGY STAR qualified commercial food service (CFS) equipment as a package for new kitchen construction or as a replacement for aging equipment, operators’ can save significant amounts of money and energy on electric, gas, water and sewer bills.
