How can I extend my equipment life? A 10% reduction in electric current to a motor can
raise its longevity by 50%. We reduce the flow of harmful reactive current to your equipment, allowing it to
run at a lower temperature and increasing its lifespan. This means lower costs to maintain and replace
equipment.
How can I reduce my risk? Risk mitigation is a key component to our customers' success.
The savings and payback period for each project are guaranteed and insured by Lloyd's of London, eliminating
risk to the customer. The savings and payback period guaranteed to the customer are generally slightly
conservative - we typically see a 1% - 2% higher return than projected, hence a quicker payback.
How can I achieve a 2 - 3 year payback period or 30% - 50% ROI? We design each solution
to balance the customer's unique electrical situation against the customer's unique financial goals. Thus,
we might recommend against certain measures which could reduce consumption but whose payback period would
not meet the customer's goals, and focus instead on more cost-effective measures with faster payback periods.
By focusing on the financial results for each project, we can achieve the fastest payback periods and best
ROI for our customers.
How Can I Start Saving Immediately With No Capital Investment? Under our Shared Savings
program, we pay all costs to install and maintain an efficiency project. We share the savings with your
organization for seven or eight years. At the end of the shared savings period, the equipment and savings
belong exclusively to you. This is a great alternative for an organization interested in lowering electric
costs immediately without any financial investment.
Other benefits. Some of the many other benefits of implementing an energy solution with
our conservation technology include:
- Refrigeration and air conditioning are more effective and reliable
- Costs to replace light bulbs and ballast decrease
- Computer data is safer
- Computer operation is more reliable and stable
- Lights and computer monitors flicker less
- Communications systems are more reliable
- Circuit breakers trip less often
Free facility evaluation. When was the last time your facility had an energy audit or
energy assessment? If more than three years ago, now is a good time to consider another. As a preliminary
step toward a detailed energy audit, we will conduct a free, no-obligation evaluation of your facility's
electric bills, overall electrical loads and consumption patterns. We will report our findings to you, along
with recommendations about how to save money. Depending on the potential savings projected by this initial
evaluation, we may recommend conducting a full audit of your facility's electrical distribution system.
This audit, also known as a site survey, will provide a complete inventory of your organization's electrical
loads, including horsepower, voltage and/or ballast of each motor, compressor, light or other piece of
equipment in your facility. The survey will also recommend a treatment approach that balances load and
system performance, customer preferences, desired financial results, and industry standards
Utility Rates Increase in 2008. Sierra Pacific, the Northern Nevada power company,
increased rates to commercial and institutional customers by more than 8% in 2008. Utilities in other
regions have implemented, or plan to implement, similar rate hikes. Is your organization prepared for
a rate increase?
