We promote energy efficiency by offering you a streamlined and cost-effective way to replace your business's existing refrigeration equipment with energy-efficient products.
Our program supports the following energy-efficient equipment:
- Anti-sweat heater controls
- Strip curtains
- Fan motors for coolers
- LED refrigeration case lighting
- Refrigerated display case door retrofit
In the following, "freezer" includes evaporator temperatures below 0°F, and "cooler" includes evaporator temperatures between 1°F and 35°F.
Anti-sweat heater (ASH) controls
Anti-sweat heater (ASH) controls reduce the energy consumption of anti-sweat heaters on reach-in doors. This measure applies to cooler and freezer reach-in glass door glass in a commercial building.
This measure only applies to technologies that reduce energy consumption of anti-sweat heaters based on sensing humidity. It does not apply to doors equipped with low/no anti-sweat heat.
Installed conditions:
- For both cooler and freezer cases: Installation of a controller with settings that reduce the ASH run time by at least 50%. Including any heating element in a door rail, glass and/or frame.
Apply now. Submit required documentation:
- Equipment or contractor invoice or bid if pre-approval required showing:
- Equipment manufacturer
- Equipment model number
- Linear footage of controlled units installed
- Order or purchase date
- Installed cost
- Product Specification Sheet (also referred to as a cut sheet) that documents product name and model number
This measure applies to retrofit and new construction.

| RF162 | anti-sweat dedicated ASHC device cooler (1° F - 35° F) | $40 |
Strip curtains
Strip curtains and plastic doors on walk-ins keep cool air from escaping, and warm air from entering the unit. This measure is for the installation of new strip curtains or plastic swinging doors on qualifying walk-in cooler and freezer doorways.
Eligible applications include grocery walk-in freezers and coolers, convenience store walk-in freezers and restaurant walk-in freezers where there are no existing curtains or plastic doors.
The following applications are not eligible: Walk-in freezers located inside of walk-in coolers; walk-in coolers in restaurants, drug or convenience stores; replacement of existing strip curtains; or strip curtains on display cases.
Installed conditions:
- Installation of strip curtains or swinging doors > or equal to 0.06-inches thick; and
- Low-temperature strip curtains or doors must be used on low-temperature applications.
Apply now. Submit required documentation:
- Equipment or contractor invoice or bid if pre-approval required showing:
- Equipment manufacturer
- Equipment model number
- Square footage of units installed
- Order or purchase date
- Installed cost
- Product Specification Sheet (also referred to as a cut sheet) that documents product name and model number
This measure applies to retrofit only.

Refrigerated Display Case Door Retrofit
Retrofitting doors to existing open refrigerated display cases saves energy by reducing infiltration of warm air into the case. This measure has been shown to reduce the total refrigeration load by 50% or more and also reduces the heating load on the store’s HVAC system.
Requirements and Specifications
- Existing display case must be open (i.e., not have doors).
- Existing display case must be served by a remote refrigeration system (i.e., not self-contained).
- The vertical case rebate is available for medium temperature display cases.
- The horizontal case rebate is available for either medium or low temperature cases.
Installed conditions:
- Display case must have double- or triple-pane glass doors.
- Replacing an open case with a new case with double- or triple-pane glass doors is eligible
Apply now. Sumbit required documentation:
- Equipment or contractor invoice or bid if pre-approval required showing:
- Equipment manufacturer
- Equipment model number
- Linear Feet of Doors installed
- Order or purchase date
- Installed cost
- Product Specification Sheet (also referred to as a cut sheet) that documents product name and model number
This measure applies to retrofit only.
