Rebates over $2,500 require pre-approval by EWEB before installation. Prior to granting approval, we must receive your rebate application. For more information, please email us at ems.answers@eweb.org or call 541-685-7088.
We promote energy efficiency by offering you a streamlined and cost-effective way to replace your business's existing food services equipment with energy-efficient products.
Our program supports the following energy-efficient equipment:
- Combination oven (electric)
- Convection oven (electric)
- Steam Cooker (electric)
- Holding cabinets
- Kitchen ventilation
We require all food service rebate items to be installed in a facility serviced by an EWEB general service commercial meter. Rebate(s) cannot exceed total project cost.
Commercial combination oven (electric)
Combination ovens provide three functions: convection, steam and combination cooking. In the convection mode, the oven circulates dry heat - suitable for pastries and breads. The steam mode injects water into the oven to poach fish, rice and vegetables. In the combination mode, both dry heat and steam are used to maintain exact humidity levels. Savings occur from the reduced idle energy consumption from improved insulation and gaskets, and the use of infrared heating.
To qualify for this rebate, the combination oven must meet ENERGY STAR v2.2 requirements, and oven capacity must be between five and 20 pans.

- A copy of the ENERGY STAR product list showing the product or the product information insert or packaging that includes the ENERGY STAR logo.
This measure applies to retrofit and new construction.
| EWEB Code | New Equipment | Rebate Per Oven |
|---|---|---|
| FS414 | commercial combination oven (electric) ≥ 5 to 15 pans |
$500 |
| FS415 | commercial combination oven (electric) ≥ 16 to 20 pans |
$500 |
Commercial convection oven (electric)
Convection ovens use fans to circulate hot air within the cabinet. Savings occur from reduced idle energy consumption from improved insulation and gaskets, and the use of infrared heating. Convection oven sizes are defined as follows:
- Half Size: 18" x 13" x 1" pan size
- Full Size: 18" x 26" x 1" pan size
To qualify for this rebate, the oven must be ENERGY STAR v2.2 rated.

This measure applies to both retrofit and new construction.
| EWEB Code | New Equipment | Rebate Per Oven |
|---|---|---|
| FS412 | commercial convection oven full size (electric) |
$400 |
| FS413 | commercial convection oven half size (electric) |
$200 |
Commercial steam cooker (electric)
Savings for electric commercial steam cookers occur from reduced idle energy consumption from improved insulation and gaskets, and the use of connectionless or closed-system design. Additional benefits include up to 90% water reduction for connectionless models.
To qualify for this rebate, steam cooker measures must meet ENERGY STAR v1.2 requirements.

This measure applies to both retrofit and new construction.
| EWEB Code | New Equipment | Rebate Per Steamer |
|---|---|---|
| FS603 | 6-pan capacity steamer | $500 |
Insulated holding cabinets
Savings for hot food holding cabinets occur from reduced idle energy consumption due to improved thermal characteristics and may include other advanced features such as auto-door closers and magnetic door gaskets. ENERGY STAR defines the following equipment sizes:
- Half Size: <13 cu. ft.
- Full Size: > or equal to 13 and <28 cu. ft.
- Double Size: > or equal to 28 cu. ft.
To qualify for this rebate, the holding cabinet must meet ENERGY STAR v2.0 requirements.

$500 |
| FS408 | efficient hot food holding cabinet (double size) |
$1,000 |
Demand-controlled kitchen ventilation
Demand-controlled kitchen ventilation (DCKV) automatically reduces kitchen hood and make-up air fan speed during times of low activity or demand. Energy savings are achieved as a result of reduced fan power and reduced make-up air heating requirements.
- For existing applications, the ventilation system has a constant-speed exhaust fan.
- For new construction applications, there are no preconditions.
The installed demand-controlled kitchen ventilation equipment:
- Control the primary ventilation and make-up air units in the zone; and
- Utilitizes one or more control sensors to modify the fan speeds.
Apply now. You can print a paper application here. You can email the following required documents to ems.answers@eweb.org:
- Completed demand-controlled kitchen ventilation project information form
- Equipment or contractor invoice or bid if pre-approval required showing:
- Equipment manufacturer
- Equipment model number
- Size and horsepower installed
- Order or purchase date
- Installed cost
This measure applies to both retrofit and new construction.
| EWEB Code | DCKV | DCKV Control Sensors | $ Per Horsepower |
|---|---|---|---|
| FS450 | new or retrofit | single | $200 |
| FS455 | new or retrofit | multiple | $400 |
