Why True Ice Machines Are a Smart Investment for Your Business

Whether you run a restaurant, hotel, convenience store, or bar, reliable ice production is essential. But what if your ice machine could not only keep up with demand — but also help you save significantly on energy and operating costs? That’s the promise of True Ice Machines, built by True Manufacturing for high-efficiency performance in commercial settings.

What Makes True Ice Machines Stand Out

1. Class-leading energy efficiency
   True’s commercial ice machines are engineered to deliver “the highest energy efficiency of its class,” reducing power consumption while maintaining strong ice output. In fact, some models operate up to 37% below ENERGY STAR® standards thanks to advanced design and components.

True is also recognized as an ENERGY STAR partner — their commercial ice machinery is certified for low energy use and among the most efficient in their size class.

2. Use of eco-friendly refrigerant (R-290)
   Rather than relying on ozone-depleting or high-global-warming-potential refrigerants, True machines deploy propane-based R-290, a hydrocarbon refrigerant with lower GWP and excellent thermodynamic properties. The result: improved heat transfer, reduced energy waste, and a smaller environmental footprint.
3. Intelligent controls, diagnostics & maintainability
   True machines include a 4.3" touchscreen smart board interface that allows technicians to monitor ice levels, troubleshoot faults, and program cleaning routines. Their modular design makes maintenance easier, which helps preserve efficiency over a long lifespan.
4. Durability built for tough environments
   These units are built to handle demanding commercial conditions, with corrosion-resistant exterior finishes and components that can endure high ambient temperatures. Because downtime is costly in food service, reliability is a selling point.

Tips to Maximize Your True Ice Savings

• Right-size your machine — Oversizing leads to wasted energy; undersizing leads to stress and excess cycling.
• Clean and calibrate routinely — Scale, mineral buildup, or clogged coils can degrade efficiency over time.
• Use filtration — True offers integrated water filters and scale inhibitors to reduce mineral deposits and maintain performance.
• Leverage remote monitoring — Many True models support remote diagnostics and alerts so you can address minor issues before they become costly failures.
• Explore utility rebates — Because True units often exceed ENERGY STAR thresholds, they may qualify for local electric utility incentives or rebates.

In commercial operations, ice machines often run continuously or under heavy duty. While traditional models may quietly incur hidden energy and maintenance costs, True Ice Machines offer a smarter alternative: robust, efficient, and easier to maintain. The energy savings alone can pay for a substantial portion of the premium over time, and the reliability and diagnostics tools help reduce downtime risk.
