With the prices of most things on the rise, keeping costs down has become even more of a priority for businesses.

PECO has financial incentives and the technical expertise to help small businesses reduce energy use and save money.

Take advantage of these savings when upgrading your facility.

Leverage newer technology with Controls

Automatically adjust lighting and temperatures with occupancy sensors, dimmers, photosensors and programmable thermostats throughout your facility.  Controls can yield significant savings and provide for improved employee comfort and reduced disruption caused by equipment failure.

Variable-Speed Drives (VSDs)
Upgrade HVAC air handlers and pumps to maintain comfortable heating and cooling levels all around your facility.

High-Efficiency HVAC Equipment
Reduce costs, extend equipment life and create comfortable environments with air- or water-cooled air conditions, chillers, energy management systems, economizer controls and demand-controlled ventilation.

For older systems, PECO offers many energy efficient upgrades to help lower energy costs and increase the comfort and productivity of your staff.

Get a full energy assessment of your organization

A holistic energy assessment of your facility will determine if you are using power efficiently and also locate where it might be being wasted.  With this detailed information about your energy use, certified energy specialists can offer solutions tailored to your organization's unique needs.

PECO offers three different assessment tiers which allow you to choose the level of input and report detail that’s most helpful to you.

Tier 1 is an energy scorecard that allows you to tackle some straightforward energy saving projects almost immediately. Tier 2 offers an energy profile report with specific recommendations based on your facility’s equipment and energy use with ways to save while either maintaining or increasing productivity.
