Business

Efficiency Smart’s Business Energy Rebates program offers small to midsize commercial and industrial businesses rebates for implementing energy saving upgrades and improvements at their facilities. This program provides a quick and easy way for companies to receive financial incentives for common energy efficiency programs.

Business customers with an annual electric usage of less than 500,000 kWh annually across all facilities are eligible to participate in the Business Energy Rebate Program. Rebates are available for:

  • Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  • Lighting and Lighting Controls
  • Motors and Variable Frequency Drives
  • Compressed Air Systems
  • Refrigeration
  • Commercial Cooking Equipment

Even if the upgrade you want is not listed on the rebate form, Efficiency Smart may still support it with financial incentives. Their engineers review complex upgrades on a case-by-case basis, and can also make pre-installation recommendations. Contact Efficiency Smart at (877) 889-3777 or info@efficiencysmart.org to see if your efficiency measure will qualify for a rebate, or for guidance on other energy-saving measures.
