Energy Consultants · Rebate Aggregators
Lower operating costs across your portfolio.
We're energy consultants and approved utility rebate aggregators. We find what your sites qualify for, unlock the rebate money, and bring in the equipment partners and financing to put it to work. You don't have to own the building.
We assess the sites, work out what's worth doing and scope it. Your HVAC team installs, or we bring in one of ours.
Utilities can't hand rebate money out arbitrarily, so they approve aggregators to find and qualify it. We're one.
Buy it and keep the savings, or an investor partner funds it and pays you a revenue share or roof rent.
Energy savings
Most sites spend 20–40% more than they need to.
That's the average across delivered programs.1 What you'd actually save depends on your equipment, and that's what the assessment measures.
Rebate access
We're an approved utility rebate aggregator.
Utilities hold pools of money for their own grid and efficiency goals, and they can't hand it out arbitrarily. So they approve aggregators to find, qualify and unlock it for business operators and property owners. We're one, and the award comes straight off your project cost.2 Not every scope qualifies, but payback runs 18–24 months either way.
How it works
Where the rebate money comes from.
Utilities hold funds set aside for meeting their own energy and grid-management targets. They can't hand that money out arbitrarily, so they approve subcontractors — aggregators — to go and find the projects that qualify, verify them, and release the money to the operators who did the work.
We're one of those aggregators. That's the difference between rebate money you were theoretically entitled to and rebate money that actually lands against your project cost.2
Electrical scope
Two ways to pay for EV charging and solar.
Buy the system and keep the savings it produces. Or an investment partner buys it and pays you a revenue share on the charging, or rent on the roof.5 You don't own it that way, but you don't pay for it either.
By site type
Common energy problems.
The waste is usually in equipment that runs unattended, around the clock. Which equipment depends on what you operate. It's rarely lighting these days.
| If you operate | It is usually here |
|---|---|
| Grocery & supermarket | Refrigeration, display cases, anti-sweat heat |
| Hotel & hospitality | Guest-room HVAC and PTAC, laundry, kitchen |
| Warehouse & industrial | Motors and drives, make-up air, process cooling |
| Restaurant & QSR | Walk-ins, HVAC, kitchen exhaust |
| Healthcare & assisted living | Continuous HVAC, ventilation, laundry |
| Office & retail | Rooftop units, ventilation, common-area load |
Planned replacement
A breakdown costs more than the equipment does.
When something fails you lose trading hours, and you buy the replacement at whatever price you can get that week. Plan it ahead and the same job gets scheduled around your operating hours, the rebates get applied, and the savings go toward paying for it.2
Delivery
Who does the work.
The install goes to whoever is best placed to do it — your own HVAC team, or one of our technology and OEM partners. We scope the work, file the rebates, and measure the result against the baseline once it's finished.4
Getting started
Tell us about the sites.
An assessment works out what you're spending now, what can come out of it, which rebates apply, and how it looks financed. It's the first phase of the work rather than a sales call.

- EligibilityWhich rebate programs your scope qualifies for.

Notes & sources
- 1Madison Energy published commercial program portfolio: 1,500+ projects, 20,000 sites and $1bn+ of reduced energy spend, with average reductions of 20–40% and ROI of 18–24 months. ECE is an authorized partner.
- 2Rebate coverage of 60–80% reflects confirmed awards on eligible scopes. Eligibility and award levels vary by utility territory and by measure; scope outside those programs may attract limited or no rebate, and payback of 18–24 months applies either way. Aggregator status permits filing on a client's behalf; it does not guarantee an award. Eligibility is established during assessment.
- 3Financing terms, including any zero-interest programs, are subject to qualification and program availability.
- 4Post-installation consumption is measured against the established baseline and reported. Verification is what substantiates the rebate claim and the financing.
- 5Under a partner-funded structure the property owner does not own the system. EV charging pays a revenue share; solar pays rent for the roof or canopy space. Terms depend on site and structure.
