5 Common Projects We Rebate

Efficiency Smart works with businesses of all sizes and types. We provide custom recommendations to help you save energy based on your unique needs. This includes calculating potential energy and cost savings to help you prioritize projects and have confidence that they are worth the investment. We also offer rebates for qualifying projects to make energy-saving improvements more affordable. Here are a few of the upgrades we incentivize:

Lighting

Lighting is a great place for just about any business to start. You can get a rebate for upgrading your lighting to LEDs. Most commonly, that means replacing high-bay fixtures or linear fluorescents. In some cases, we also provide rebates for exterior lighting and linear strip fixtures. We also provide incentives for replacing older, less efficient LEDs.

Building Controls

Building controls can help reduce operating costs by ensuring your building isn't using excess energy when no one's around. Efficiency Smart provides rebates for lighting controls like occupancy sensors and daylight sensors, which turn off the lights when the space is vacant. We also offer rebates for motor controls like variable frequency drives (VFDs). In a more specialized building, we can help incentivize controls for equipment like conveyor belts or refrigeration.

Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning

If you’re considering upgrading to an HVAC system that is more efficient than the local energy code or the federal efficiency standard requires, you might be eligible for rebates. HVAC systems vary widely between businesses, so we'll work with you to figure out what type of system makes the most sense for your space. Some of the equipment we incentivize includes heat pumps, air conditioning, ventilation fans, and chillers. It’s usually more cost-effective to wait until your current HVAC system reaches the end of its life before replacing it with a more efficient unit. However, when that time comes, it’s important to choose an efficient system to ensure continued energy savings throughout its lifespan.

Specialty Equipment

If your business uses compressed air, injection molding machines, blow molders, industrial refrigeration equipment, or other large equipment, you might be eligible for a rebate if you upgrade to a more efficient machine.
