AMVETS Post 70
Port Royal, SC

When NRM is able to help a business or organization that dedicates itself to helping others, it’s a reminder that it’s about more than just #energyefficiency upgrades and energy savings on their utility bills. For some of our clients, such as food banks, people rely on them having fresh food for their survival.

The same can be said for AMVETS Post 70 in Port Royal, SC. American Veterans (AMVETS) is the “most inclusive Congressionally-charted veterans service organization” in the country. It provides assistance, services, and jobs to veterans and their communities.

“We were constantly losing product,” Tammy Tully of Post 70 said. It was a situation she saw time and again: an issue would occur, with no warning, and food would spoil. They were needing an excessive amount of emergency calls for repairs, and it was simply a persistent headache.

But NRM approached them with a solution that would give them the peace of mind they needed.

Now, they get alerted when the temperatures in their walk-ins change, and they can immediately take action before their perishables are jeopardized. Having their temperatures logged automatically has also been a big help, as it lets them track performance for food safety and for energy usage.

They also got the equipment optimization upgrades, which came with a 70%+ incentive from their utility provider. NRM was able to reduce their annual kWh consumption by about 16,000 and annual electric costs by $1,600.
