Save on kitchen energy costs with smart ventilation

In a typical commercial kitchen, exhaust fans run at constant speeds – even when cooking isn’t taking place. This leads to wasted energy and unnecessary wear on equipment.

Installing high-efficiency demand control kitchen ventilation (DCKV) will optimize energy use by adjusting based on real-time cooking activity. Enbridge Gas offers incentives to help offset the cost of upgrading – making energy-efficient improvements more affordable for you.

Take advantage of our standard and limited-time offers to offset the cost of upgrading to DCKV technology and benefit from immediate energy savings.

How do DCKV systems work?

Ventilation is the single biggest energy user in commercial kitchens—a big opportunity to save.

DCKV uses advanced sensors and variable-frequency drives to detect temperature levels, vapour and smoke, adjusting the airflow to respond to real-time energy needs. This reduces energy use and saves money.

Here’s how much past participants are saving today

Kitchen ventilation systems were running constantly at these restaurants—at least 15 hours a day, 365 days a year. By installing DCKV, they reduced energy use and improved comfort for staff and customers.

$10,000* annual energy savings

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