Today's economy is especially challenging for small businesses. Many are aggressively seeking ways to cut expenses and better manage operating costs. Energy costs can impact your bottom line. . . that's why SCE is offering the Direct Install program.
The Direct Install program is an excellent way for your business to reduce energy costs and save money. This effortless program provides qualifying businesses with FREE energy-efficient products, FREE installation and long-term energy.
Direct Install is in Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Carpinteria in January and February 2011.
Here's how the program works:
SCE has contracted with highly-skilled energy efficiency experts (FESS Comprehensive Energy Solutions) who evaluate your facility, free of charge, to identify energy savings opportunities.
With your approval, the contractor installs FREE energy-efficient replacement equipment. By replacing the less efficient equipment with new, energy-efficient technology, your business will reduce its energy use, carbon footprint and electric bill – all at no cost to you.
FESS takes 5–10 minutes to complete the energy assessment and make recommendations to improve the energy efficiency of your business. If you agree with the recommendations, the contractor will ask you to sign an Authorization Form and schedule an appointment for a convenient time to install the equipment. Installation of recommended energy-efficient equipment will take less than two hours and your business can remain open.
What you receive:
Qualified SCE business customers using less than 100kW monthly are eligible for:
- FREE energy evaluation and savings analysis
- FREE energy-efficient products that include:
o Fluorescent Lighting
o High Intensity Discharge (HID) Fixtures
o Refrigeration
Door closers, suction line insulation and strip curtains
o LED Open and Exit Signs
o Window Film
o Occupancy sensors
o Vending Misers
o Programmable Thermostats
- FREE product installation
Who can participate:
The Direct Install program is available to qualified businesses using less than 100kw monthly. Corporately-owned national franchises are not eligible. If you participated in the Direct Install program in the past, you may still be eligible.
What is needed:
You do not need to purchase anything to participate. Simply be willing to have your less-efficient equipment replaced with more energy-efficient products — free of charge.
Participation in the program is limited to times when an SCE contractor is scheduled to be in your community. Direct Install is in Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Carpinteria in January and February 2011. For more information call (800) 736-4777. |
