Create a Cooling Effect on Your Costs
If you're in the supermarket, convenience store, restaurant or distribution center business, refrigeration is essential but can also be very expensive. Save up to 50 percent with simple improvements that cut refrigeration unit electricity usage.

Install these energy-saving devices to lower your bills and save 50 percent or more of the energy used by older technologies:
- Anti-sweat heater controls: They cycle on and off to control condensation on doors and frames only when needed, as opposed to old-fashioned heaters that run 24/7.
- Case doors that utilize insulation technologies and glass coatings: They prevent condensation with low or no electric heater.
- Hot gas reclaim: This technology incorporates hot gas reclaimed from refrigeration equipment to eliminate condensation.

Why Control Condensation?
You should control condensation to prevent fogging on the glass surface of display cases or ice buildup on freezer doorways. Older methods use more electricity and throw off heat, which reduces the efficiency of your refrigeration units and wastes energy. Saving energy benefits the environment and your bottom line.
Plus, here's how your business benefits:
- Reduced operating costs
- More energy-efficient refrigeration
- FPL incentive

To qualify for money-back incentives, install one or more of these newer technologies:
- Electric strip heaters around display case doors that use automatic controls (with humidistats) to cycle off heaters when they're not needed
- Special glass doors for reach-in refrigerated cases that require no or minimum anti-sweat heating
- Freezer doors that use hot gas reclaim
In addition:
- Documentation must be provided by the manufacturer specifying the potential kW reduction of equipment
- Amount of money back is based on this amount of reduction (up to $75/kW)
