Commercial dishwashers are among the most energy-consuming appliances in a commercial kitchen. There are several types of commercial dishwashers: low or high temperature, undercounter, stand alone or conveyor. Some of the models available on the market are more energy intensive than others.
Gazifère is offering $100 in financial assistance towards the purchase of low temperature and multi-track conveyor (BT-CM) diswashers, and $325 towards the purchase of a high temperature stand alone (HT-ST) Energy Star® certified dishwasher.
You can purchase an ENERGY STAR® dishwasher from a business specializing in the sale of commercial kitchen appliance licensed in natural gas appliance.

You can benefit from this program if you own a commercial kitchen that heats its water with natural gas (Rate 1).
