The installation of an advanced heat pump at their processing facility has allowed the Squab Producers of California, a cooperative of specialty poultry growers, to cut electricity use by 68% and save over $1,200 annually in electricity and $1,100 in natural gas costs. The new heat pump provides both the extra hot and chilled water needed for processing operations at a considerable energy savings, and the technology is quickly being adopted by large-scale poultry facilities.
