Easy Ice Subscriptions Include Energy Star Ice Machines

How an Energy Star Ice Machine Benefits You

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 businesses over $430 billion in energy costs.  

The EPA's Energy Star program is a way for customers to identify the most energy-efficient appliances – in our case, ice machines. The EPA awards their coveted Energy Star to energy efficient ice machine models 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 their Energy Star: batch-type ice makers and continuous-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 models include crescent, square, dice, and half-dice ice machines.

To qualify for the Energy Star, batch type ice makers need to be 10 percent more energy efficient and 20 percent more water efficient compared to standard models.

Continuous-Type Ice Makers

Continuous-type units include cubelet/nugget and flake ice machines that use an auger system to produce ice.  

Energy Star continuous ice makers are around 16 percent more energy efficient than standard models.
