Owner of both Cambridge M&M Meat Shops franchise locations, Peter Charters, recently developed a resistor for his freezer heater circuits that reduced the energy load on average by 70-75%. That’s an energy savings of $250-$300 per month! In addition, Charters has also changed the existing 100 watt incandescent freezer lighting with 28 watt compact fluorescent lamps, installed programmable thermostats, and installed motion sensor light switches in bathrooms and storage areas. Peter has also seen his energy bills decreased by 25% through switching his T12 fluorescent tube lights to newer T8 lights at the Hespeler location.
