Quick answer: The most reliable way to reduce ice-machine operating cost is to compare current ENERGY STAR or manufacturer efficiency data for the exact models that meet your production needs. Proper sizing, ventilation, water treatment and maintenance can protect that efficiency. Do not assume that every Hoshizaki model or ice type uses the same amount of electricity or water.
What energy efficiency means for an ice machine
Commercial ice machines use electricity, water and—in some configurations—additional building cooling capacity. Efficiency therefore involves more than the purchase price or the advertised pounds of ice per day. A useful comparison considers energy use per quantity of ice, potable-water use, condenser-water use when applicable, actual production under the expected conditions and the cost of maintaining the complete installation.
Model families differ substantially. Condenser type, ambient temperature, incoming-water temperature,
