And as a participating contractor, the incentives aren’t the only benefit for you!
PG&E’s HVAC Optimization program is a great deal for you and your customers.
Optimization vs. Standard
Conventional HVAC maintenance services focus on a general operations inspection and a few basic maintenance tasks. Typically contractors will only service the filter and clean the coil of covered units.
The HVAC Optimization Program, based on the ANSI / ASHRAE / ASHRAE / ACCA Standard 180 (an industry standard for quality maintenance) is a comprehensive, properly sequenced maintenance program that helps improve energy efficiency and reliability, equipment life, thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
