The rebate you didn't apply for is the most expensive part of the project.
Utility, state and federal programs will pay for a large share of most efficiency and electrification work — if someone files the paperwork, meets the deadlines and survives the inspection. We do that on every project. It's a service line, not an afterthought.
Every program that touches your project, in one filing calendar.
Utility rebates & custom incentives
Prescriptive rebates for lighting and equipment; custom, calculated incentives for controls, HVAC and process measures — pre-approved before you commit.
On-bill financing
Utility programs that finance the whole project at 0% and repay it on your existing bill, sized so the payment is below the savings. Up to 10 years for public agencies.
Electrification & EV programs
Make-ready funding for EV charging, fuel-switching incentives for heat pumps and electric equipment, and load-management programs.
State programs
California energy-efficiency and decarbonization programs for schools, hospitals and public agencies, including grant funding where it exists.
Federal tax credits & deductions
Investment tax credits for storage and solar and building-efficiency deductions, coordinated with your CPA where they apply.
Demand response & grid services
Ongoing revenue from storage and controls once the project is running — enrollment, dispatch and settlement handled by us.
Real numbers from recent projects.
Rebates, incentives and zero-interest on-bill financing over 82 months for a hospital-wide controls, HVAC and lighting project. Nothing out of pocket.
Utility rebates, incentives and funding for building automation, HVAC optimization and LED conversion at a 79,000 sq ft manufacturing HQ.
Utility funding for steam-heating automation in an 18-story 1907 office tower. Gas use projected to fall 44%.
From application to check, we own the paperwork.
Screen
Every meter and every measure checked against every open program. You get a list with dollar figures, not a maybe.
Pre-approve
Applications, calculations and supporting engineering filed before construction — so the incentive is reserved, not hoped for.
Build to the program
Scope, equipment and documentation held to program rules, so nothing gets disqualified at inspection.
Inspect & verify
Pre- and post-installation inspections scheduled and attended by us; meter-based verification where the program requires it.
Collect
Incentive checks and financing draws tracked to your account. Demand-response revenue enrolled and settled after.
Contractors don't get paid to find your rebate. We do.
Most incentive programs have a deadline, a pre-approval step and an inspection. Miss any one and the money is gone. A contractor bidding a fixed scope has no reason to chase it — and no engineering staff to file the calculated-savings applications that carry the biggest dollars.
As owner's representative, incentive capture is part of our scope on every project — and we'll do it as a standalone service for work you're already planning with someone else.
