HVAC Incentives
Capitalize on utility incentives to retrofit or upgrade your HVAC system. Upgrades can include options such as smart controls for roof top units (RTUs) or heat pumps that improve comfort, lower energy usage and maintenance costs. By combining different measures in one project, incentive multipliers increase.
BENEFITS
Why invest in HVAC?
Improve energy efficiency
Upgrades decrease energy usage and peak demand. For instance, a Dept. of Energy study showed rooftop controls cut energy use by 57% on average.
Reduce maintenance
Improve employee satisfaction
HVAC equipment and retrofits improve the cooling and heating efficiency of your space to make a more comfortable environment.
Lower environmental impact
Newer HVAC equipment and retrofits contribute to lowered greenhouse gas emissions and reduced use of toxic refrigerants.
Equipment Upgrade
Older HVAC equipment has costly preventative maintenance contracts, experiences frequent unplanned service, and provides inconsistent comfort. Investing in new equipment can lead to decreased operating costs, reduced energy usage, and improved conditioning.
Controls Upgrade
For equipment that is still in good condition, thermostat controls, RTU upgrades, occupancy controls, and the addition of economizers improves energy efficiency and leads to lower utility costs. Precise and automated temperature, humidity, and air quality management enhances systemperformance and comfort.
Building Automation
These technologically advanced systems allow you to automatically “Listen to Your Building™” and its needs via continuous monitoring, facilitating the identification and implementation of control strategies tailored to usage, occupancy, and function. This optimizes efficiency and maintains comfort levels.
Energy Efficiency Programs
There are a variety of utility programs in place to support your business or organization whether small or large. Pioneer conducts a no-cost, no-risk assessment before working collaboratively with you to develop and install the project.
Through the Small Business Energy Assessment (SBEA) Program, eligible small and medium-sized organizations can receive a comprehensive energy assessment of their facilities at no cost to identify potential energy-saving opportunities and recommended measures. These measures can include lighting upgrades, HVAC system improvements, insulation, and other energy-efficient technologies. 0% on utility bill financing is available for qualifying customers.
The Energy Opportunities program is an affordable way for large businesses to upgrade to energy efficient equipment. Our energy experts help our customers maximize cost savings by developing projects that combine multiple measures to qualify for higher incentives. We replace or retrofit inefficient operating equipment such as lighting, HVAC, chillers, motors, compressors, and controls.
Through the Multifamily Initiative, property owners can identify energy-saving opportunities and implement measures such as lighting upgrades, insulation, HVAC system improvements, and more. The program provides financial incentives, rebates, and financing options to help offset the upfront costs associated with these energy efficiency upgrades. Income-eligible properties may qualify for higher incentives.
Each program has unique financing options for businesses that want to upgrade their equipment. Based on eligibility, small businesses may receive 0% on-bill financing on energy efficiency projects. For larger businesses, your utility company partners with banks to provide low-interest financing on the remaining balance net incentives.
We look deeper than just lighting.
Our philosophy involves taking a comprehensive approach to assist you beyond your lighting needs. We help you assess other building systems to enhance comfort and reduce costs. By combining multiple upgrades, we can earn you higher incentives to improve payback that helps you greenlight your project.
Enhance your current refrigeration and retail cases by installing more efficient LED lighting and high-performance motors. These upgrades not only help you save money but will better showcase your merchandise.
