LED lighting, EC motors, new rooftop units, and smart controls generate more than $1 million in net cash flow over 10 years through the ONSITE Platform.
This chain turned an infrastructure problem it couldn’t afford to solve into over a million dollars of cash flow”
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A family-owned chain of five grocery stores has modernized its aging HVAC and refrigeration infrastructure, ONSITE Utility Services announced, generating more than $1 million in projected net cash flow over 10 years without spending capital or taking on debt.— Fritz Kreiss, Founder and CEO
The stores needed LED lighting, EC motors for refrigeration, new rooftop units (RTUs) with advanced thermostats, and controls for walk-in coolers, freezers, and anti-sweat freezer doors. But like most grocery operations, the chain runs on tight margins; it lacked the capital to fund the improvements and had no interest in taking on debt, even as outdated, maintenance-heavy systems eroded operating income.
ONSITE and its contractor team performed a comprehensive lighting study, reviewed 12 months of utility bills, and conducted a full ASHRAE Level II audit to quantify the savings opportunity across all five locations. The resulting plan bundled electricity savings, maintenance savings, rebates, and operational improvements into a single scope: LED retrofits, EC motor upgrades, new high-efficiency RTUs, walk-in and freezer controls, and thermostat and anti-sweat optimization, deployed entirely through ONSITE's Energy-as-a-Service platform with full maintenance coverage over a five-year term.
ONSITE charges a single monthly service fee lower than the chain's prior combined electricity and maintenance costs. At the end of the term, ONSITE abandons the equipment and the client retains 100% of the savings, with no buyout required.
Key Results:
• $375,104 in capital expenditure avoided
• $1,296,249 in projected electric savings over 10 years
• $206,399 in projected maintenance savings over 10 years
• $1,041,455 in net savings cash flow to the client over 10 years
