Illustrative property scene
Start with your building
Restaurants bring together dining-room comfort, busy kitchens, refrigeration, and long operating hours. A rebate project should recognize how those systems interact and who is responsible for each one. We help restaurant owners and property managers review the proposed equipment changes, clarify landlord approvals, and identify the utility pathway to investigate. Start with the next planned replacement or renovation rather than a list of every possible product. That gives the assessment a practical scope and helps align equipment specifications, existing-condition records, and installation dates before a purchase is made.
Your utility confirms eligibility, approved measures, incentive amounts, and funding. Review requirements before purchasing or installing equipment.
Where to look for improvements

Questions from property teams
No. A certification label alone does not establish utility eligibility. The current offering, product category, model specifications, and application requirements need to be checked.
No. CPS Energy lists refrigeration in its commercial offerings. We review Austin Energy projects against its own published measures rather than transferring CPS Energy eligibility assumptions.
Yes. Bring the utility account information and clarify equipment ownership and landlord permission so the assessment can identify an appropriate applicant and scope.
