Energy Efficiency for Business
Unitary AC Units and Heat Pumps
>65,000 Btu/h
Save energy and money and even earn incentives when you install
high-efficiency equipment.
A more efficient AC unit and heat pump can make your business
environment more comfortable – and your employees more
productive. It also improves energy efficiency, which helps you save
significantly over time.
Install qualifying, high-efficiency equipment and earn an incentive of $75 per ton.
Plus save up to 25 percent annually on cooling costs.
The efficiency of HVAC equipment will decline as it ages. Installing a high-efficiency
unitary AC unit or heat pump can reduce operating costs, reduce annual maintenance
and correct equipment reliability issues that may affect facility operation.
Benefits include:
•Lower operating costs
•Long-term energy efficiency
•More comfortable business environment
Want to get incentives?
Here’s how:
1. Call Duke Energy for a FREE Business
Energy Check.
2. Ensure all equipment meets Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) certification efficiency data at Standard
Rating Conditions (AHRI 210/240-94 for
units <135,000 Btu/h and 340/360 for
units >135,000 Btu/h).
3. Confirm that cooling and heating load
calculations are performed if the capacity
of the high-efficiency unit differs from that
of the original unit or if the high-efficiency
unit is adding cooling or heating to
previously unconditioned space.
Note
All required documentation must be
submitted to your Energy Advisor within
six months of project completion or
Certificate of Occupancy (New Construction).
