Why BC's Top Foodservice Businesses Are Choosing Efficiency First?

British Columbia consistently ranks among the highest in Canada for commercial energy costs. For foodservice businesses here, that is not a statistic, it is something you feel every time your monthly bill arrives.

What makes BC uniquely challenging is that businesses here have very little say over their energy pricing. The focus has to shift to what happens inside your kitchen. High-efficiency certified equipment uses significantly less energy per service hour, and in BC's energy climate that translates directly into savings that compound month after month.

The FortisBC Foodservice Equipment Rebates Program exists because upgrading should not have to wait until something breaks. Zanduco makes that decision easier by putting the rebate in your hands at the point of purchase, so the smarter choice is also the more affordable one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do BC restaurants qualify for kitchen equipment rebates?

Yes. If you own or operate a commercial kitchen anywhere within the qualifying utility service territory in British Columbia, you are likely eligible. The program covers a wide range of foodservice businesses from independent restaurants and cafes to larger food retail operations across the province.

How do I get a rebate on commercial kitchen equipment in BC?

When you buy qualifying equipment through Zanduco, your rebate comes straight off your invoice at checkout. No forms, no waiting, no dealing with your utility provider directly. Just share your BC business address at the time of purchase and we handle everything else on your behalf.

What kitchen equipment qualifies for rebates in British Columbia?

Commercial fryers, convection ovens, combi ovens, griddles, steam cookers, rack ovens, conveyor ovens and commercial dishwashers are all covered. Equipment needs to carry ENERGY STAR certification or meet the BC program efficiency requirements at the time you purchase it.

Why are BC energy costs so high for commercial kitchens?

British Columbia has some of the highest commercial electricity rates in Canada and most businesses have very limited options when it comes to their energy provider. That makes what happens inside your kitchen, specifically how efficiently your equipment runs, one of the few energy costs you can actually control and do something about.

Can I get a rebate if I am opening a new restaurant in BC?

Yes. New restaurant fit-outs and new construction projects in British Columbia are eligible under the program in most cases. There may be some additional information required at the time of purchase but our team at Zanduco will walk you through everything before you place your order.
