What is the Small Business Improvement Enhanced Program?
It is a walk-through assessment of your business’s energy use. This includes your lighting, heating and cooling systems, duct work, and refrigeration systems. This program allows us to perform some courtesy services and offer options for low-cost solutions by using rebate incentives for energy efficiency improvements.* For eligible customers, this valuable service provides long-term energy savings that can reduce your energy bill and your business’ impact on the environment.
What to Expect During Your Free Assessment.
Puffin Mechanical Energy Services will conduct a walk-through of your small business. Depending on the size of your facility, this can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours. We will look at the things that require energy in your business. We will also identify and recommend upgrades.
As a courtesy, our team will perform:
- HVAC tune-ups
- Air duct inspections, testing, and sealing.
- LED exit signs
- Occupancy sensors for bathrooms
Some Reduced-Cost Solutions with available Rebates include:*
