ENERGY STAR® qualified products
ENERGY STAR® Designed to save money and protect the environment through energy-efficient products and services, the ENERGY STAR program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants that harm the earth. It is also intended to help consumers identify and purchase energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills without sacrificing comfort.
Overall, ENERGY STAR qualified light commercial equipment uses 7-10% less energy than standard equipment. Qualified equipment is designed to help you save money on utility bills while reducing energy waste.
Consider these facts:
- Over the lifetime of your equipment, using ENERGY STAR will save your business approximately $1.70 per square foot.
- Space cooling accounts for roughly 15% of electricity in commercial buildings.
- 25% of all rooftop HVAC units are oversized, resulting in extra wear on equipment and higher energy costs.
Many utility companies offer incentives for commercial customers who purchase energy-efficient commercial HVAC units.
Depending on the area in which your business is located, you may qualify for energy rebates through your utility company when you purchase a high-efficiency commercial heating or cooling system. You may potentially enjoy a return from your local electricity provider.
