Question: How can I save money and decrease my energy costs?
Answer: There are many energy saving options to choose from. Hussmann prides itself it assisting with cost effective solutions and delivering options that will decrease your energy consumption.
- One option is replacing your current T-8 lighting in your reach-in doors to Hussmann EcoShine LED lights. Our LED lights will brighten your merchandise and lower your energy costs. These lights have been engineered to disperse light across each shelf bringing even illumination to every product.

- Another option is replacing your refrigeration coil fan motors with energy efficient Hussmann ECM motors. These fan motors are 50% more efficient over standard motors. For example, replacing 1/20 HP shaded pole motor with an ECM motor in a medium temp walk-in cooler reduced the wattage from 118 to 38. This led to a reduction of kWh savings of 80 watts x 8,760 hours / 1,000 = 700 kWh.
- Hussmann also provides several preventative maintenance options. These options keep your equipment running the most efficient, reducing down time, and increasing the life and performance.

Question: Can you help me with marketing?
Answer: Standing out has become harder and harder with stores getting bigger and increased niche items such as liquor, coffee, and hand-made sandwiches.
Create a warm and inviting environment for your customers with a proper, cost-effective solution that will leave a lasting impression.
Hussmann can help you put together promotional materials that go along with your marketing plan. From store front windows, to pump toppers, we can design anything you might need to get your message across, get customers in the door, and increase your sales.
For example, if you offer a free donut with every large coffee purchase, you could advertise with small canopy graphics and large storefront window posters. You can also include flyers in the bags for upcoming events and specials. Some of our customers have also started Facebook fanpage and Twitter accounts that include special deals for their customers following them.
Please contact one of our project managers and discuss your marketing needs.
