Commercial dishwashers are among the most energy-consuming appliances in a commercial kitchen. There are several types of commercial dishwashers: low or high temperature, undercounter, stand alone or conveyor. Some of the models available on the market are more energy intensive than others.
Enbridge Gaz Québec has increased its financial assistance in May 2025, now offering $600 towards the purchase of low temperature and multi-track conveyor (BT-CM) diswashers, and $2,400 towards the purchase of a high temperature (HT-ST) Energy Star® certified dishwasher.
You can purchase an ENERGY STAR® dishwasher from a business specializing in the sale of commercial kitchen appliance licensed in natural gas appliance.
Increased cash incentive! Receive up to $2,400
You can benefit from this program if you own a commercial kitchen that heats its water with natural gas (Rate 1).
