Here are some rebates that ComEd is offering as part of their initiative to decrease energy output. (Please note, these rebates, thru ComEd, come with a list of prerequisites. Click here for more info some of the policies)
Walk- in Commercial Coolers / Freezers Upgrade

Automatic Doors
- Installing automatic door closers on walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers helps will help to keep cold air in – your business may qualify for $75 in rebates per door for walk-in coolers.

Anti-Sweat Heater Controls
