NRM Success Story
The Country Mile
Greenville, NH
The Country Mile has slashed their electric bill by roughly $6,000 per year. By year 5, they'll have recouped around $30,000 in profits that otherwise would've been spent on energy costs thanks to NRM's solution.
For Josh Correia and The Country Mile in Greenville, NH, NRM’s solution has been a godsend in avoiding big problems with the refrigeration systems in their walk-in coolers. In particular, the ability to start a defrost whenever he needs combined with a 20-minute timed system shutdown during deliveries or stocking has drastically improved the performance and health of his evaporator coils.
By training his delivery drivers to push the big red shutdown button when they show up, the system stops running and producing humidity which used to ice up his evaporator constantly.
And because NRM’s solution also optimizes the equipment for energy-efficiency, The Country Mile was able to save over $6,000 every year in operating costs.

"We’ve had a number of times where the alerts really saved our butts. In fact, when NRM first installed their system, it made us aware we had a compressor on the roof running 24/7. Of course no one noticed, because you can’t hear it up there. Who knows if that thing would’ve blown up on us. And prior to NRM’s defrost tools, we dealt with iced up evaporator coils all the time. It has definitely made our lives easier."
