Commercial kitchen appliances

Promotion of commercial kitchen equipment throughout Switzerland

EcoGastro promotes efficient combi-steamers, multifunctional appliances, dishwashers and griddles - further appliance categories are constantly being added.

EcoGastro certifies and promotes commercial kitchen appliances that have technical measures that demonstrably reduce energy consumption compared to other appliances available on the market. The proof is provided by measurements.

Object of the promotion

The replacement of EcoGastro-certified kitchen appliances is subsidized, but not the purchase of new appliances. End customers receive the subsidies in the form of a discount from the appliance seller. No application is required. The following appliance categories are currently subsidized:

- Combi steamers
- Multifunctional appliances
- Dishwashers
- Griddles
- Warming trolleys/bain-marie

You can download the complete list of subsidized appliances below.

Simplest processing without application

The subsidies are passed on directly to end customers by the accredited equipment manufacturers and sellers - a subsidy application to EcoGastro is thus no longer necessary.

Certification of devices

Manufacturers or importers of energy-efficient commercial kitchen appliances must have their appliances certified by EcoGastro in order to receive funding.

Certification takes place after a chargeable measurement by a measurement laboratory recognized by us, currently the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons FHGR. The measurements are carried out according to the measurement methods defined by ENAK.

EcoGastro calculates an annual consumption from the results of an appliance and compares this with a basic power consumption based on existing data from the ENAK database. Only appliances that are more energy-efficient than average new appliances are certified because they have specific energy-saving measures in place. Possible features of such an appliance are (not exhaustive):

- Heat recovery (HR) from waste water and / or exhaust air
- Additional insulation / thermal insulation
- Automatic temperature reduction
- Intelligent plate recognition
- Control
- Heat generation technology

Target groups

All private and public Swiss buyers of commercial kitchen appliances can benefit from the subsidies. The only exceptions are the central federal administration in circles 1 and 2, i.e. the federal offices and administrative units such as MeteoSwiss and agricultural research institutes.
