Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV) Installation Program

Use up to 60 percent less fan energy with DCKV

Ventilation is the single biggest energy user in commercial kitchens. Typically, exhaust fans are running at constant speeds in these spaces—even when cooking isn’t taking place. This can result in over-ventilation, unnecessary fan wear-and-tear and a noisy kitchen environment.

Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy can help, with incentive offers that covers up to $24,500 of total installed costs to purchase and install a high-efficiency DCKV system.

Scaddabush cooks up fresh savings with DCKV

At Scaddabush Italian Kitchen & Bar, the kitchen’s ventilation system ran constantly—even when cooking equipment was idle. Since installing DCKV, the restaurant has reduced costs and improved comfort for staff.

“After seeing the projected savings, payback and ROI for installing the highly efficient DCKV technology, we couldn’t afford not to upgrade.”

Grey Sisson
Vice Chairman, Service Inspired Restaurants (SIR Corp.)

M.T. Bellies’ recipe for simple, seamless kitchen upgrades

For M.T. Bellies Tap & Grillhouse, making kitchen upgrades was out of reach—until the DCKV Installation Program stepped in with incentives to help reduce energy waste and costs, lower noise levels and help keep this local gem competitive.

“Without incentives, we wouldn’t have made the upgrades. Not only did Enbridge Gas provide financial support, the whole participation process could not have been easier.”
