  • Premium insulation packages for walk-in coolers
  • National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) premium motors and/or variable speed drives on evaporator and condenser fans
  • Oversized condensers to supercool refrigerant
  • Humidistat controlled anti-sweat heaters, instead of timers, for large display systems
  • Evaporative condensers
  • Defrost controls, instead of timers, that measure frost accumulation and humidity
  • Glass door cases (instead of open door cases)
  • Automatic door closers (with appropriate interior safety releases)
  • Special doors with low or no heat
