Your kitchen never stops.
Neither does your
energy bill.

Refrigeration, HVAC, and kitchen equipment run continuously in food service. We reduce that load by 13–22% — without compromising safety, comfort, or disrupting a single shift.

The Problem

Energy is one of your largest
controllable costs.

In food service, refrigeration, HVAC, and kitchen loads run from open to close — and often through the night. Most operators treat this as fixed overhead. It isn't.

❄️
Refrigeration runs around the clock
Walk-ins, prep fridges, and display units cycle their compressors continuously — even overnight. Compressors work far harder than they need to, wasting energy every hour of every day at every location in your estate.
Electrical waste you can't see
Kitchen motors, exhaust fans, HVAC units, and compressors create electrical noise that wastes energy across every circuit in your restaurant — invisibly, continuously, at scale.
📈
The savings potential is material at any scale
Whether you operate one location or thousands, the same verified technology applies. For multi-site operators, consistent per-location savings compound into a significant portfolio-wide outcome.

The Solution

Two layers. One install.
Additive savings.

Each enPact technology targets a different energy loss mechanism — so their savings don't overlap, they stack. Both deploy in hours with no impact on kitchen operations or food safety.

Layer 1 — Electrical · Always first
enPact FilterPro
Electrical Optimization
Reduces invisible electrical waste across every circuit in your restaurant simultaneously — motors, compressors, HVAC, kitchen equipment, and lighting. Connects to your incoming power supply in parallel. Nothing changes inside the kitchen. Retrofit installation — no changes to your existing equipment or systems.
6–18%
whole-site electrical reduction
Layer 2 — Thermal
enPact Refrigeration
& Cooling
Optimizes your refrigeration systems — walk-ins, prep units, display cases — to run more efficiently. Smart sensors detect when optimal cooling is achieved and pause the compressor at peak efficiency, maintaining exact temperatures while cutting runtime and energy draw.
20–40%
refrigeration energy reduction
Why both layers together outperform either alone: FilterPro targets electrical losses before energy reaches equipment. Refrigeration & Cooling targets thermal inefficiency inside the refrigeration loop. These are different energy loss mechanisms — so when combined, the savings are additive, not overlapping. At a U.S. fast-food location: freezer savings of 38.3%, kitchen HVAC at 31.4%, lobby HVAC at 37.6% — all running simultaneously with a 17.8% whole-site reduction. Neither technology cannibalises the other's result because they act on different parts of the system.

"Savings verified across every major energy system simultaneously — freezer, HVAC, and kitchen — with no disruption to operations."

enPact Refrigeration & Cooling was deployed across three locations — two in the U.S. and one in Ireland — covering freezers, coolers, and HVAC systems. Results were measured using ON/OFF comparison periods across each individual system to produce clean, defensible savings data.

Location 1 (U.S.): 17.8% whole-site reduction, with every major system showing significant improvement — freezer down 38.3%, kitchen HVAC down 31.4%, and lobby HVAC down 37.6%. Location 2 (U.S.): 18.3% whole-site result, with the freezer alone reducing by 44.3% and the cooler by 46.6%.

The consistency across three different locations — different countries, different site profiles — demonstrates that these results are repeatable, not site-specific anomalies.
