Efficiency Programs & Rebates: Rebates

Vending machine controller rebate

Electricity costs for operating a standard cold drink vending machine are typically more than $250 per year. Simple installation of a vending machine controller can cut your operating costs by up to 50 percent. This calculator can help you determine the savings potential in your facility.

A vending machine controller incorporates sensors to monitor occupancy, temperature, and electric current. They reduce the amount of time the machines operate, while maintaining desired temperatures. Controllers can be installed without tools, or additional wiring in most instances.
