They know there's a better way out there, so they decide to talk to a local Freeaire dealer. He suggests they put in energy-efficient Evaptm replacement evaporator fan motors and a Basic Freeaire System with outside air and calculates a yearly savings of of about three thousand dollars. They are a little sceptical, but decide that the money paid to their electric utility is money out the window. If they invest in some energy-saving improvements, they will at least have a good chance to keep some of that money in their own pockets each year. They figure they will take a chance and invest in part of the system now, but hold off putting in the outside air system until their initial investment is paid off. Putting in the new evaporator fans and the Basic Freeaire system costs them $3105 to install, a not insignificant sum for a cash-strapped small business, so they sit back and wait to see what effect their investment has made. A year later, their energy costs for their walk-in cooler have fallen by 1/3 and now look like this:

Naturally, they are quite pleased. They now trust their Freeaire dealer to deliver on his promises and decide to take part of their savings for the past year and invest it in a Cool Breeze Outside Air Packagetm for their Freeaire system, to take advantage of all that cold New England winter air. Sure enough, a year later, they see they have cut their annual walk-in cooler energy bill in half. They couldn't be happier because their annual walk-in cooler energy bill from now on looks like this:
