Alstonville Florist is making big energy savings with new energy efficient refrigeration
Alstonville Florist in northern NSW has saved 30 per cent on power bills, thanks to the NSW Energy Efficiency for Small Business Program.
Owner Kerry Thompson started implementing her Energy Action Plan with a $1900 subsidy from the Program, to improve refrigeration.
'As a member of the local chamber of commerce I was aware of the Energy Efficiency for Small Business Program. I wanted to save on energy costs and my Energy Action Plan showed that replacing the old three door flower fridge with a new, more efficient unit would achieve this,' said Kerry.
'I've since seen a difference in my power bills – they have decreased by 30 per cent.'
Running the florist shop requires a lot of effort and implementing the changes takes time, but Kerry says the benefits are worth it.
'Being part of Interflora means we need to keep our computers on standby for orders. However, we switch off kitchen equipment at the power point which reduces our overall energy use.'
