The HVAC check

An energy-saving service for your business

Take control of your energy

costs with new HVAC equipment
A more efficient HVAC system could make a noticeable difference on your electric
bill and you may qualify for an incentive from Progress Energy Florida of up to
$150 per kW reduced, up to a maximum of $75,000.*
The first step is to call us for a free Business Energy Check. During the check, youll
receive a variety of helpful energy-saving recommendations. In addition, if the
HVAC check is recommended for your business during that process, you may also
qualify for a $150 incentive per kW reduced with new energy-efficient equipment.
(Approved systems include very high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners,
packaged terminal heat pumps and water-cooled and air-cooled chillers.)
More efficient equipment will increase your long-term energy efficiency, impact your
bottom line by lowering your monthly bills, and make your business environment
more comfortable thereby increasing productivity and customer satisfaction. And,
the HVAC check incentive will help offset the cost of more efficient equipment
installed in your facilities that
we serve.
Take control of your energy
costs today. Call us for
more information on the
HVAC check and other
energy-saving services
for your business.
