The California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce is excited to share an opportunity to
help your small business reduce overhead costs and become more energy efficient. We’re
spreading the word about the California Foodservice Instant Rebates Program. To qualify,
your business must be located in a commercial space served by Southern California Gas
Company, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, or San Diego Gas & Electric.
Instant rebates up to $3,000 per unit on qualifying commercial cooking equipment from
fryers to freezers to refrigerators to rotisseries are automatically applied at the time of
purchase when you shop at a participating dealer. No paperwork, no waiting—just instant
savings.
If you operate a business with a commercial kitchen—such as a restaurant, , bakery,
school, convenience store, or catering company—this program is for you. Kitchen equipment
is a huge driver of energy use, with cooking appliances responsible for nearly 35% of the
average restaurant’s energy expenses.
Here’s why upgrading makes sense:
● Energy Savings: High-efficiency appliances can cut energy use by up to 75%.
● Improved Operations: Newer models perform better, cook faster, and emit less
heat.
● Cost Reduction: Lowering your energy use can lower your utility bills which
means more money hitting your bottom line every month.
● No Hassle: The rebates apply instantly at checkout—no extra forms or
applications.
Business owners know that staying competitive means staying efficient. Equipment that
uses less energy not only saves you money but can also qualify your business for future
sustainability grants, certifications, and recognition. It’s an investment in long-term
operational health.
With inflation and supply chain challenges still affecting the food industry, every dollar saved
counts. This program helps business owners like you invest in high-quality, energy-saving
equipment that pays for itself over time.
Getting started is easy:
Step 1: Visit caenergywise.com/instant-rebates and confirm your eligibility
Step 2: Find a participating dealer
Step 3: Choose eligible equipment
Step 4: Receive your Instant Rebate at the time of purchase
