RECEIVE ENERGY UPGRADES FOR YOUR SMALL BUSINESS
When new owners buy a business, they often need to make renovations to the business to make it more inviting to customers, which can be costly.
Meet Arsh Sidhu, the manager of Barrel 2 Bottle, a locally owned wine and spirits shop in Vacaville, CA. The current owners acquired the business in 2021 and have been looking for ways to modernize the store and reduce overhead costs.
Partnering with BayREN Business, Arsh was able to upgrade the overhead lighting to high-efficiency LED fixtures, making an easy, aesthetic upgrade to the store at no cost to the business.
Combined with upgrading to energy efficient motors with controllers in their refrigeration units, the project will help lower their electricity bill by an estimated $12,950 per year.
BENEFITS
$23,000 BayREN rebates made the upgrade free of charge
“These upgrades have made a noticeable difference. The store is brighter, the refrigerators run more efficiently, and we saw savings just a few months after installation!”
