Energy Star®

The widely recognized ENERGY STAR label has arrived on commercial food service equipment! This is the first time an energy label of any type has appeared on equipment to help inform the buyer about energy performance.

The ENERGY STAR label appears only on equipment that meets strict energy use guidelines, and assures the buyer an appliance is among the top energy performers in its class.

The FSTC is proud to have assisted the E.P.A. in making contacts within the food service industry to help make this aspect of the program possible.

The following appliances are eligible for the ENERGY STAR label:

· Fryers
· Hot Food Holding Cabinets
· Solid-Door Refrigerators and Freezers
· Steam Cookers
· Dishwashers
· Ice Machines


ENERGY STAR has also created an energy guide for restaurants:
