Running a food processing or cold storage facility means keeping things moving—without draining your budget. Energy costs are one of your biggest expenses, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything you can do about those rising costs.
The good news? There’s a way to cut down on waste, boost efficiency, and even get funding to make it happen!
It all starts with an energy assessment through the Department of Energy’s Industrial Training & Assessment Center (ITAC) Program. And guess what!? Michaels Energy is an approved ITAC-equivalent assessor!
