As your partner for turnkey energy efficiency services, OES does not operate like a parts catalog. We manufacture and install custom solutions designed for grocery environments, with a focus on fast execution, repeatable results, and measurable savings.
Common upgrades and replacements we recommend for grocery stores include:
Custom Gaskets
We measure on-site, manufacture commercial-grade polyvinyl gaskets in-house, and professionally install them for a tight seal. You reduce air leaks, improve temperature stability, and remove the cracked surfaces that can create sanitation problems.
Night Covers
Open display cases can be one of the biggest after-hours energy drains. We install retractable night covers to trap cold air during non-business hours so you stop cooling the entire store overnight. Many sites see meaningful kWh reduction per case, and rebates often cover the bulk of the cost.
ECM Motors and Controls
We replace inefficient shaded-pole motors with high-efficiency ECMs and add Anti-Sweat Heater controls to reduce door fogging without wasting heat. Shoppers see the product clearly, and you stop paying for unnecessary runtime.
We Work While You Stock the Shelves
We understand that you can’t block aisles or disrupt shoppers to make room for energy efficiency upgrades. OES technicians work around grocery traffic patterns and operational constraints, often overnight or during low-traffic windows. We stage work to minimize store impact, keep cases protected, and move fast so sales never slow down.
Upgrade Your Store With Available Funding
OES is an authorized Trade Ally for major utilities, which means we do more than recommend upgrades. We secure incentives that often cover 50 to 100% of eligible project costs. Our team handles the incentive lifecycle end to end, including applications, pre-approvals, documentation, before-and-after photos, and verification. You get upgrades that reduce energy burn without tying up capital or adding admin work to your plate.

From single-location family markets to national supermarket chains, OES has surveyed and upgraded over 10,000 facilities. Our work is trusted by major grocers, including Albertsons, Safeway, Acme, Kings, and Key Food.

OES delivers nationwide energy efficiency upgrades for grocery stores and supermarkets, focused on refrigeration systems and LED lighting.
While our retrofit capabilities scale nationally, utility incentive programs are regional and highly specific. We validate eligibility, secure approvals before work begins, and manage compliance to reduce costs and protect funding.
OES treats grocery stores as live, revenue-generating environments. Our teams work around your operating schedule using night work, phased installations, and no-shutdown practices to keep your store’s refrigeration units running and aisles open. Whether supporting a single store or a multi-location portfolio, our grocery store energy efficiency services are executed with minimal disruption and maximum operational respect.

Yes. We specialize in delivering consistent upgrades and measurable results across regional and national grocery locations.
How quickly can grocery stores see energy savings after OES’ upgrades?
Many of our customers begin seeing reduced energy usage immediately after installation, with continued savings reflected on utility bills over time.
Does OES’ lighting upgrades impact the customer shopping experience?
Along with energy savings for your store, our LED lighting upgrades enhance product visibility, aisle clarity, and overall store appearance while reducing glare and maintenance needs.
