Additional information
Deep Fat Fryers
An ENERGY STAR® qualified fryer can lower your energy bills every year by upwards of $2,000. They can operate with up to 25 percent more energy efficiency than standard-efficiency fryers, and often enable shorter cook times and higher production rates so you can cook more food faster. In addition, the cost savings resulting from how the efficiency fryers handle cooking oil can increase your cost savings by another 50%!
Connectionless Steamers
An ENERGY STAR® qualified connectionless steamer heats water from an internal reservoir instead of a water connection and prevents steam from escaping during operation. So you heat only what you use and put it to work as efficiently as possible, saving you valuable money and energy.
Some water utilities also offer incentives for qualified, water- and energy-efficient commercial foodservice equipment. Be sure to check with your water provider for any possible additional incentives on connectionless steamers.
Convection ovens
Energy-efficient electric and natural gas convection ovens cook with more than 70 percent and 40 percent greater efficiency than standard models, respectively. Use PSE's incentives to save on qualifying convection ovens and lower your energy bills, no matter what you serve.
Combination ("Combi") Ovens
The programmability of a combination oven (often called a "combi-oven") lets you cook food in a dry-heat mode, a steam mode or both with different temperature settings, optimizing your energy cost and energy usage.
Rack Ovens
A rack oven is versatile enough to bake, roast or warm prepared food in high volume, so its energy efficiency is crucial to keeping your business's energy bills low. And no matter the size of your menu, using PSE's incentive on energy-efficient rack ovens is a piece of cake.
Deck Ovens
Deck ovens vary from convection ovens in the way in which heat is transferred to the product being baked. Deck ovens use conduction heat to bake products which happens when heat travels directly from a hot stone or deck to the loaf of bread or sheet pan being baked. Doing so efficiently can save your business thousands of dollars over an inefficient model. PSE electric customers qualify for this rebate so choose an efficient model and get baking!
Conveyor Ovens
Conveyor ovens move food through a heated chamber at a constant speed. They can handle high volume production and can be stacked in multiples for a small footprint. Save up to $1,000 a year off your gas bill and get a rebate for this kitchen workhorse.
Ice Makers
An ENERGY STAR® qualified commercial ice maker can save your business an average of 15 percent on its energy cost without any loss of ice harvesting power.
Some water utilities also offer incentives for qualified, water- and energy-efficient commercial foodservice equipment. Be sure to check with your water provider for any possible additional incentives on commercial ice machines.
Reach In Refrigeration
Washington State Energy Code mandates that ENERGY STAR® reach-in refrigeration be installed in your business. For this reason we are unable to offer rebates for this type of equipment. If you would like to discuss energy efficient walk-in refrigeration technology please visit our commercial retrofit grants page to get in touch with us and learn more about our custom incentive program for this type of project, or email grantapplications@pse.com with questions.
Water heating
Using condensing water heating recovers heat that normally travels up your flue to the air outside, so improving its energy efficiency by 10 percent or more can add up to valuable energy savings.
PSE does not offer customer rebates for efficient water heaters. To take advantage of these energy savings, please contact your local distributor. PSE has partnered with many local distributors to assist in transforming stocking practice in order to make efficient equipment available to you. To take advantage of these savings, please contact your local distributor.
Dishwashers
An ENERGY STAR® qualified dishwasher is an average of 40 percent more water- and energy-efficient than a standard model, helping to lower your energy bills and reduce waste. Your utilities are working together to make this rebate available to you. To confirm your eligibility for specific models please contact foodservice@pse.com (and have your water heater fuel type handy).
Some water utilities also offer incentives for qualified, water- and energy-efficient commercial kitchen equipment. Be sure to check with your water provider for any possible additional incentives on commercial dishwashers.
