NRM Success Story
Honeybaked Ham
Aiken, SC
Honeybaked Ham in Aiken has slashed their electric bill by roughly $2,000 per year. By year 10, they'll have recouped roughly $20,000 in profits and nearly 200,000 kWh in energy.
While the newfound energy savings are going to be a long-term benefit for Mr. Desai and his Honeybaked Ham location in Aiken, SC, it was how easy the whole process had been that is most memorable. We make it a priority to give every customer the white-gloves treatment.
First, NRM’s Energy Advisor explained to Mr. Desai the opportunities available to him through his utility’s small business program, and why the utility was offering them. For us, that obviously revolved around his walk-in cooler. The next step was having our Energy Advisor assessed the refrigeration’s performance, after which he explained to Mr. Desai exactly how NRM’s solution was going to improve operation and slash energy usage.
In this particular case, the refrigeration improvements qualified for a generous incentive, which meant the out-of-pocket money Mr. Desai did have to pay was by the energy savings in less than 9 months. This made the decision a no-brainer.
When it came time for the implementation, NRM’s licensed technicians were able to install the smart refrigeration controls without disrupting business—no emptying the entire cooler, no having to shut down for days.
