New prescriptive measures have been added to the program to make it easier to receive an incentive on high-efficiency boilers, heat recovery devices, energy management systems and infrared heaters. A complete list of incentives is available in the application and catalog.

There is an electric measures chart and a gas measures chart. Check out the charts to see all the heating & cooling efficiency options, and the incentives for each one.

I would tell any business that the savings are right there in your HVAC system. For us, it was just a matter of getting started. We worked with a contractor who knew our system, and now we’re more efficient than ever.
Use ceiling fans to keep the air moving. Moving air can feel 3 degrees to 5 degrees cooler and can save you 3 percent on cooling costs.
Make sure your chiller is the right size. An oversized chiller costs more to purchase and more to operate because of excessive cycling.
If your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system is approaching the end of its rated lifetime, it pays to replace it with high efficiency models.
Change or clean air conditioning and furnace filters regularly. Dirty filters reduce airflow and cause equipment to work harder.
High-efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment can save 20 to 50 percent on your energy consumption.
The Incentive Application includes all of the forms you need. Only Consumers Energy business customers are eligible to receive incentives. Please be sure to follow the step-by-step instructions on the cover sheet.
