Boosting Bill Savings with Refrigeration Upgrades
When reviewing expenses, one piece of equipment stood out in Ariel Coddington's market: the 20-year-old refrigeration system. Through BRRR she covered 80% of the cost for new equipment and now she is saving $450 per year on electricity!
At The Mayflower Pub in San Rafael, owner Guiliano Lavezzo was able to cover 80% of new equipment cost to replace the aging refrigeration system. This upgrade helped to cut electricity costs by $220 per month.
“There were times we almost had to shut down because the old equipment couldn’t keep temperatures low enough,” said Calvin. “Without this program, it would have been very hard to afford the upgrades we needed.”
