Direct Install
Let us pay up to 80% of your energy efficiency upgrade. Sometimes, the biggest challenge to improving your business' energy-efficiency is getting started. Created specifically for existing small to mid-sized facilities, Direct Install is a turnkey project solution that makes it easy and affordable to upgrade to high-efficiency equipment. We will provide you with a FREE energy assessment and a participating contractor will work with you to cut your facility’s energy costs by replacing lighting, HVAC and other outdated operational equipment with energy efficient alternatives. To dramatically improve your payback on the project, the program pays up to 80% of retrofit costs to facilities within an Urban Enterprise Zone, Opportunity Zone, owned or operated by a local government, K-12 public school, or designated as affordable housing. Other types of facilities receive an incentive up to 70% of retrofit costs. In 2020 the Direct Install program surpassed $225 million in incentives provided since its inception.
Measures eligible for Direct Install are limited to specific equipment categories, types and capacities and are reevaluated regularly to ensure the best energy solutions for your facility.
