Ice machines require both electricity and water to function, which can lead to expensive utility bills. In the ongoing struggle to limit overhead costs, an energy efficient ice maker can save you hundreds of dollars a year.Overall, the Energy Star program has saved consumers and businessesover $430 billion in energy costs.

The EPA'sEnergy Star programis a way for customers to identify the most energy-efficient appliances – in our case, ice machines. The EPA awards their coveted Energy Star toenergy efficient ice machinemodels that demonstrate 15% more energy efficiency and 10% more water efficiency than standard ice machine models.

There are two types of ice makers the EPA defines when awarding theirEnergy Star:batch-type ice makersandcontinuous-type ice makers.

Batch-type Ice Makers

Batch-type units are your standard cube ice machines that use an evaporator plate design and go through alternating freeze and harvest cycles. These modelsincludecrescent,square,dice, and half-diceice machines.

To qualify for the Energy Star, batch type ice makers need to be10 percent more energyefficientand20 percent more water efficientcompared to standard models.

Continuous-Type Ice Makers

Continuous-type units includecubelet/nuggetandflake icemachines that use an auger system to produce ice.

Energy Star continuous ice makers are around16%更节能than standard models.
