  • Identify a small plot of land (or part of a busy parking lot) to purchase or lease. North Carolina Icehouse can point you to locations already set up for lease.
  • Purchase one or more Ice Houses
  • Apply for city building permits
  • Coordinate between power company and licensed electrician to install power to machine (220-3phase)
  • Tie in power to condensing unit and ice machine as per plans (use electrician)
